Note:

If large quantities of metal shavings or particles
are found in the engine oil when repairing the
engine, all oil passages must be cleaned
carefully, and the oil cooler replaced in order to
prevent further damage occurring later.
The oil level must not be above max. mark on
dipstick - danger of damage to catalytic
converter!
