O Waste oil must be disposed of prop-
erly.
O Check your local regulations.
4. Loosen the oil filter with an oil filter
wrench
q B
. Remove the oil filter by
turning it by hand.
5. Wipe the engine oil filter mounting
surface with a clean rag.
Be sure to remove any old rubber
gasket remaining on the mounting sur-
face of the engine.
6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with
clean engine oil.
7. Screw in the oil filter clockwise until a
slight resistance is felt, then tighten
additionally more than 2/3 turn.
Oil filter tightening torque:
11 to 15 ft-lb
(14.7 to 20.5 N z m)
8. Clean and re-install the drain plug
with a new washer. Securely tighten
the drain plug with a wrench.
Drain plug tightening torque:
22 to 29 ft-lb
(29 to 39 N z m)
Do not use excessive force. 9. Refill engine with recommended oil
and install the cap securely.
CAUTION The dipstick must be inserted in place to pre-
vent oil spillage from the dipstick hole while
filling the engine with oil.
See ªCapacities and recommended
fuel/lubricantsº in the ª9. Technical
and consumer informationº section for
drain and refill capacity. The drain and
refill capacity depends on the oil tem-
perature and drain time. Use these
specifications for reference only. Al-
ways use the dipstick to determine the
proper amount of oil in the engine.
CAUTION When filling oil, do not pull out the dipstick.
10. Start the engine and check for
leakage around the drain plug and
the oil filter. Correct as required. 11. Turn the engine off and wait more
than 10 minutes. Check the oil level
with the dipstick. Add engine oil if
necessary.
After the operation 1. Install the engine undercover into po-
sition as the following steps.
a. Pull the center of the small plastic
clip out.
b. Hold the engine undercover into
position.
c. Insert the clip through the under-
cover into the hole in the frame,
then push the center of the clip in
to lock the clip in place.
d. Install the other bolts that hold the
undercover in place. Be careful not
to strip the bolts or over-tighten
them.
2. Lower the vehicle carefully to the
ground.
3. Dispose of waste oil and filter prop-
erly.
