(miles/kilometers) recommenda-
tions in the maintenance schedule.
The oil and f ilter collect contami-
nants that can damage your engine if
they are not removed regularly.
Changing the oil and f ilter requires
special tools and access f rom

be raised on a service station-type
hydraulic lif t f or this service. Unless

equipment, you should have this
maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,

increase your car’s perf ormance or
longevity. It only increases the cost
of operating your car. 1.
