ENGINE
OIL
CHANGE
1. Draining the
Oil
Sump. Discharge
the
used oil
through
the
sump
drain hose (attached
to
the
front of
the
engine)
while
the
engine
is
warm.
Drain
the
used
oil
completely,
replace
the
hose
in
its bracket,
and
replace
the
end
cap
securely.
NOTE:
Thread size for
the
lube
oil drain hose capped end
is
114
NPT.
A
WARNING:
Used
engine
oil
contains
harmful
contaminants.
Avoid
prolonged
skin
contact.
Clean
skin
and
nails
thoroughly
using
soap
and
water.
Launder
or
discard
clothing
or
rags
containing
used
oil.
Discard
used
oil
properly.
2. Replacing the
Oil
Filter.
When removing the
used
oil
filter,
you
may
find
it helpful
and
cleaner to punch a
hole
. in the upper and lower portion of
the
old
filter
to
drain
the
oil
from
it into a container before removing
it.
This
helps
to lessen spillage. A small style automotive
filter
wrench
should be helpful in removing
the
old oil
filter.
NOTE:
Do
not punch this hole without first loosening
the
filter
to
make
certain it can be
removed!
Place
some
paper towels
and
a plastic bag
around
the
filter
when
unscrewing it
to
catch
any
oil left
in
the
filter.
(Oil
or
any
other
fluid
on
the
engine reduces
the
engine's
cooling
ability.
Please keep your engine clean.) Inspect
the
old
oil
filter
as
it
is
removed
to
make
sure that
the
rubber
sealing gasket
came
off with
the
old
oil
filter.
If
this
rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against
the
engine
block,
g((ntly
remove
it.
When
installing
the
new
oil
filter
element,
wipe
the
filter
gasket's sealing surface
on
the
engine block free of oil
and
apply a thin coat of clean engine oil
to
the
rubber gasket
on
the
new
oil
filter.
Screw the filter onto
the
threaded
oil
filter nipple,
and
then
tighten the
filter
firmly
by
hand.
NOTE:
Generic filters
are
not
recommended,
as
the
material standards or diameters
of
important
items
on
generic parts might be entirely different from genuine
parts. Immediately after an oil filter change
and oil
fill,
run
the
engine
to
make
sure
the oil pressure
is
normal and
that
there
are
no
oil leaks around
the
new oil
filter.
3.
Filling the
Oil
Sump. Add
new
oil
through
the
oil
filler
cap
on
the
top of
the
engine. After
refilling,
run
the
engine for a
few
moments
while
checking
the
oil
pressure. Make sure there
is
no
leakage
around
the
new
oil
filter
or
from
the
oil drain
system,
and
stop
the
engine.
Then check
the
quantity of oil with
the
lube
oil
dipstick.
Fill
to,
but not over the high mark
on
the
dipstick,
should
the
engine require additional
oil.
