CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
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.
Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid contact with used oil. If contact occurs, wash the area thoroughly with soap and waterless hand cleaner. Never use gasoline, thinners, or solvents to wash the skin.
In order to protect the environment, dispose of used oil and used oil filter sub-assemblies at designated disposal sites only.
To prevent burns, do not remove the oil pan drain plug and oil filter sub-assembly while the engine is hot.
