CAUTION
. Never over tighten the oil filter
because that can result in an oil leak.
. Thoroughly wipe off any engine
oil that has spilled over the
exhaust pipe and/or under-cover.
If left unremoved, the oil could
catch fire.
10. Reinstall the cover under the oil filter.
11. Pour engine oil through the filler neck.
For the oil capacity (guideline), refer to “ Engine oil ”F 12-4. The necessary quan-
tity of oil depends on the quantity of oil that
has been drained. The quantity of drained
oil differs slightly depending on the tem-
perature of the oil and the time the oil is
left flowing out. After refilling the engine
with oil, therefore, you must use the level
gauge to confirm that the level is correct. Maintenance and service
