CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in loss of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants that may cause skin cancer.
Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use a waterless hand cleaner to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners or solvents.
For environmental protection, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.

INSPECT FOR OIL LEAK
Warm up the engine and check for engine oil leaks.
CHECK OIL LEVEL
Warm up and stop the engine, then wait for 5 minutes.

CAUTION:
Do not add engine oil to above the full level mark.
