Changing Engine Oil

Drain oil with engine shut off, but with engine oil still warm. Proceed as follows:

1. Remove drain screw (A).

2. While crankcase is draining, replace filter element.

3. Install drain screw, using new seal ring, and tighten to 50 N·m (37 lb-ft).

4. Fill crankcase with fresh oil of proper viscosity (see Section "Fuel, Lubricants, Coolant and Capacities") at filler neck (B). With filter, capacity is approx. 13 liters (3.4 U.S. gal.).

5. Run engine for a short time and check for leaks at filter base and drain screw.

6. Shut off engine.

7. Wait 15 minutes then recheck oil level. Oil should be up to the upper mark on dipstick. If necessary, top up with oil.

IMPORTANT: Change oil whenever a seasonal change in temperature makes oil of a different viscosity necessary.

NOTE: Carry out first oil change after first 100 hours of operation.
