G040A04FC-GAT
Gasoline engine
The engine oil and filter should be changed at those intervals specified in the maintenance schedule in Sec-tion 5. If the car is being driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil and filter changes are required. G040A03EThe procedure for changing the oil
and filter is as follows:
1. Park the car on level ground and
set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it warm up until the needle on the coolant temperaturegauge moves above the lowest mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear selector lever in "P" (auto-matic) or reverse gear (manual transaxle).
2. Open the hood and remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Slide underneath the car and loosen the oil pan drain plug by turning itcounterclockwise with a wrench of the proper size. Be sure that adrain pan is in position to catch the oil as it drains out, then remove the drain plug.
WARNING:
Be very careful when draining the
engine oil as it may be hot enough to burn you! 4. When the oil has stopped draining,
replace the drain plug using a new washer and retighten by turning it clockwise. Oil pan drain plug tightening torque :
