Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct
skin contact with used engine oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand
cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check for engine oil leakage from engine compo-
nents. Refer to LU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE" .
2. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
3. Loosen oil filler cap (1) and then remove drain plug (2).
Oil filter (3)
Vehicle front
4. Drain engine oil.
5. Install drain plug (2) with new washer. Refer to EM-24, "
OIL
PA N"
CAUTION:
Be sure to clean drain plug (2) and install with new washer.
6. Refill with new engine oil. Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED
FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
CAUTION:
The refill capacity depends on the engine oil temperature
and drain time. Use these specifications for reference
only.
Always use oil level gauge to determine the proper
amount of engine oil in the engine.
7. Warm up engine and check area around drain plug (2) and oil fil-
ter (3) for engine oil leakage.
8. Stop engine and wait for 10 minutes.
9. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-5, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL"
.
Engine Oil FilterELS0020N
REMOVAL
1. Remove oil filter using Tool (A).
⇐ Front
CAUTION:
Oil filter is provided with relief valve. Use Genuine NIS-
SAN Oil Filter or equivalent.
Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil
may be hot.
When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leakage or spillage.
Do not allow engine oil to adhere to drive belt.
Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to engine and vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation surface.

NOTE:
About 30 to 50% extra fluid will be required for this procedure.
4. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-20, "
Checking CVT Fluid" .
CAUTION:
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-II after changing CVT fluid. Refer to CVT-60,
"Check CVT Fluid Deterioration Date" .
Checking Clutch Fluid Level and LeaksELS001X6
If fluid level is extremely low, check clutch system for leaks.
Checking Clutch SystemELS001X7
Check fluid lines and operating cylinder for improper attachment, cracks, damage, loose connections, chafing
and deterioration.
Checking M/T OilELS0021X
OIL LEAKAGE AND OIL LEVEL
1. Make sure that oil is not leaking from transaxle or around it.
2. Remove filler plug (1) and check oil level at filler plug hole as
shown.
CAUTION:
Do not start engine while checking oil level
3. Install a new gasket onto filler plug (1) and install it into tran-
saxle. Tighten filler plug to specification. Refer to MT-17, "
Case
and Housing Components" .
CAUTION:
Do not reuse gasket.

DRAINING
1. Start engine and let it run to warm up transaxle.
2. Stop engine. Remove drain plug (1) and drain oil.
3. Install a new gasket onto drain plug (1) and install it into tran-
saxle. Tighten drain plug to specification. Refer to MT-17, "

FILLING
1. Remove filler plug (1). Fill with new oil until oil level reaches the
specified limit at filler plug hole as shown.
2. After refilling oil, check oil level. Install a new gasket on filler plug
(1), then install it into transaxle. Tighten filler plug to specifica-
tion. Refer to MT-17, "
