Always change the oil and filter
according to the maintenance
messages shown on the odometer/
trip meter display or on the multi-
information display. The oil and filter
collect contaminants that can dam-
age your engine if they are not
removed regularly.

Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
technician.

Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.

Open the hood, and remove the
engine oil fill cap. Remove the oil
drain bolt and washer from the
bottom of the engine. Drain the oil
into an appropriate container.

Remove the oil filter, and let the
remaining oil drain. A special
wrench (available from your
dealer) is required.

Make sure the oil filter gasket is
not stuck to the engine block. If it
is, remove it before installing a
new oil filter.
