Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer? 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 properly throw away clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about
the use and disposal of oil products.)
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 putting it in the trash, 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.
AIR CLEANER
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine when to replace the air
filter.
See “Scheduled Maintenance Services” in the Index.
See “Air Cleaner Filter Replacement” in the Index.
