CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the removal 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.
To prevent burns, do not remove the oil pan drain plug and oil filter sub-assembly while the engine is hot.
