ground.
2. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating tempera-
ture.
3. Turn the engine off and wait for a few minutes (about 5 minutes) for
the oil to return to the oil pan.
4. Pull the dipstick out, wipe it clean, and re-insert it fully.
5. Pull the dipstick out again and check the level. The level should
be between F and L.
If it is near or at L, add enough oil to
bring the level to F. Do not overfill.

1. Warm the engine up for a few min-utes and then turn it off. Remove
the oil filler cap.
2. Drain the oil into a suitable con- tainer by removing the oil drain
plug. 3. Remove the engine oil filter with
an oil filter wrench.
✽ ✽NOTICEDo not allow the oil filter gasket to
remain on the oil filter mounting
surface. This will cause oil leakage
and engine damage. Remove the old
gasket completely so that a new gas-
ket may be properly seated. 4. Use a clean rag to clean the oil fil-
ter mounting surface on the
engine.
5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the new oil filter O-ring seal. 6. Install the oil filter and tighten it.
(Refer to the oil filter caution label
for tightening instructions.)
7. Install a new washer on the drain plug. Don’t use an old washer
repeatedly.
8. Replace the drain plug after the oil has thoroughly drained. Torque the
plug to 3.5~4.5 kgm (26~32 lbft,
35~44 Nm).
9. Refill the engine with new oil to the F mark on the dipstick. Do not
overfill.
10. Reinstall the oil filler cap secure- ly.
11. Start the engine and inspect around the oil filter seal for leaks.
Stop the engine.
12. Check the oil level and fill to the F mark as necessary.

same external appearance, their
internal designs differ significant-
ly. These filters are not inter-
changeable. To avoid potential
engine damage, use only the speci-
fied filter. Consult an Authorized

not be thrown down the drain or
in the trash.
