PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER Replace initially at 1 month and every 6 months thereafter. The oil should be changed while the engine is warm. Oil filter replacement should be done together with the engine oil change at the intervals shown above. ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT Place an oil pan under the engine oil drain plug 1, and then drain out the engine oil by removing the engine oil drain plug 1 and engine oil filler cap 2. Tighten the engine oil drain plug 1 to the specified torque, and then pour new engine oil through the oil filler hole. When performing an oil change (without oil filter replacement), the engine will hold about 2.2 L (2.3 US qt, 1.9 lmp qt) of oil. Use the engine oil that meets the API service classifications SF or SG and that has the viscosity rating of SAE 10W-40. # Engine oil drain plug: 21 N•m (2.1 kgf-m, 15.0 lb-ft) Install the oil filler cap 2. Start the engine and allow the engine to run for a few minutes at idling speed.
Turn off the engine and wait about three minutes, and then check the oil level on the dipstick 3. If the level is below upper line, add oil to that level. The vehicle must be in a level position for an accurate measurement.
OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT Drain engine oil. (!Above) Remove the oil filter cap 1. Remove the oil filter and O-rings.
