OIL AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

CAUTION:


  • Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the loss of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which 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. Protective clothing and gloves that cannot be penetrated by oil should be worn. The skin should be washed with soap and water, or use waterless hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil thoroughly. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.

  • In order to protect the environment, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.

      Tech Tips

      Make sure that the oil filter cap ribs are vertical, this will allow the engine oil to drain from the gap between the oil filter cap and the housing.

    2. Remove the oil filter cap.

    3. A015Z1KE02

      Remove the oil filter element and O-ring from the oil filter cap.

      Note

      Be sure to remove the O-ring (for the oil filter cap) by hand, without using any tools, to prevent damage to the groove for the O-ring on the oil filter cap.

  4. INSTALL OIL FILTER ELEMENT


    1. A015Z1KE02

      Clean the inside of the oil filter cap, threads and O-ring groove.

    2. Apply a small amount of engine oil to a new O-ring and install it to the oil filter cap.

    3. Set a new oil filter element to the oil filter cap.

    4. Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the installation surface of the engine.

    5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring again and install the oil filter cap.

    6. A015Z7KE01

      Using SST, tighten the oil filter cap.

      SST

      Note


      • Make sure that the oil filter is installed securely as shown in the illustration.

      • Be careful that the O-ring does not get caught between the parts.

  5. ADD ENGINE OIL


    1. Add fresh oil.

      Standard Engine Oil
      Oil Grade Oil Viscosity (SAE)
      API grade SM multigrade engine oil

      • 5W-30

      • 10W-30

      (5W-30 is best choice for fuel economy and good starting in cold weather.)
      Standard Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      Drain and refill with oil filter change 9.3 liters (9.8 US qts, 8.2 Imp. qts)
      Drain and refill without oil filter change 8.2 liters (8.7 US qts, 7.2 Imp. qts)
      Dry fill 10.5 liters (11.1 US qts, 9.2 Imp. qts)

    2. Install the oil filler cap.

  6. INSPECT FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK

  7. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL


    1. Warm up and stop the engine, and then wait 5 minutes. The oil level should be between the dipstick low level mark and full level mark.

      If low, check for leaks and add oil up to the full level mark.

      Note

      Do not fill engine oil above the full level mark.

  8. INSTALL OIL FILTER ELEMENT SERVICE HOLE COVER
