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.

If the air cleaner is off, a backfire can cause a damaging engine
fire.
And, dirt can easily get into your engine, which will damage
it. Always have the air cleaner in place when you’re driving.
AUTOMMTIC TRASAXLE FLUID
Men to Check and Change
A good time to check your automatic transaxle fluid level is when the
engine oil is changed. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine
when to change your fluid. See “Scheduled Maintenance Services”
in the
Index.
