OIL AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

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.

      Do not remove the oil filter bracket clip when removing the oil filter cap.

    2. Remove the oil filter cap.

      Note:

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

  5. INSTALL OIL FILTER ELEMENT

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

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