has this option, see “Engine Block Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil:
A CAUTION
Used engine oil contains things that have caused skin cancer in
laboratory animals. Don’t let used oil stay on your skin for very
long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properlv throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine
oil.
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own
oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal.
Don’t ever dispose
of oil by pouring it on the ground, into sewers, or into
streams or bodies
of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to a place that
collects used oil.
If you have a problem properly disposing of your used
oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center for help.

4.6L 32 Valve (DOHC) Northstar Engine
The engine is a 4.6 liter (279 cu.in.) 90' V-8 featuring Dual Overhead
Cam (DOHC),
32 valve, and sequential port fuel injection. This design
results in a powerful, refined engine which is well suited to even the most
demanding driving conditions.
Engine weight is minimized
by the use of low mass alloy materials. The
crankcase, cylinder heads and oil pan are made from cast aluminum. The
induction system housing, cam covers and
oil filter adapter are cast
magnesium. The reduced engine mass enhances vehicle handling and
responsiveness.
