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.

CAUTION:

In case you spill engine oil on the front pipe, wipe it off completely. If you fail to wipe the spilled oil, it will produce white fumes because of heat.

Position the vehicle on level ground.
WARNING:
- A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands.
Remove the oil filler cap and the oil pan drain plug.
WARNING:
- Hot engines and oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until the engine oil has cooled. Do not burn yourself with either.
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.
