Engine Oil Replacement

WARNING:

Continuous exposure with USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water immediately after this work.

Drain the oil into a container.
Clean the flange surface (seal rubber) of the drain plug, then install the plug.
NOTE:
- The drain plug is reusable and does not need a washer.
