Coolant recommendations WARNING:
Do not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot, since the system is
pressurized and coolant may be
ejected from the radiator resulting in
scalding.
3. Prepare a suitable receptacle to col-
lect the displaced oil and remove the
drain plug from the sump.
4. When the oil has drained from the sump, replace the drain plug using a
new washer ensuring that the plug is
not over tightened.
Tightening torque is: 3.5 ~ 4.5 kgf.m
5. Remove the oil filter by rotating coun- terclockwise, using a proprietary oil
filter removal tool if necessary. Note
that the oil filter will contain approxi-
mately 0.5 litres of oil and this should
be collected in a suitable receptacle.
6. Install a new oil filter having smeared the sealing ring with clean oil and
rotating clockwise until the filter con-
tacts the mounting and then a further
one half turn. Do not over-tighten CAUTION:
The oil being drained from the en-
gine will be hot. Care should be
exercised to prevent scalding.
! Tightening torque:
Petrol -
1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m
Diesel(RHD) - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m
7. Pour the specified quantity of the recommended oil into the engine and
replace the filler cap. Start the en-
gine and ensure that no oil leaks
exist. Turn off the engine and after a
couple minutes, recheck the oil level.
WARNING:
Prolonged and repeated contact with
used engine oils may result in seri-
ous skin disorders including derma-
titis and cancer. Avoid contact with
skin as far as possible and always
wash thoroughly after any contact.
Keep used oils out of reach of chil-
dren. It is illegal to pollute drains,
water courses and soil. Use only
authorized waste collection facili-
ties including civic amenity sites
and garages for the disposal of used
oil and oil filters. If in doubt, contact
the local authority for disposal in-
structions.
