Engine Oil: Service and Repair
OIL AND FILTERCAUTION:
^ Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
^ Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinner, or solvents.
^ In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated disposal sites.
1. Drain engine oil.
1) Use a SST(09263-2E000) to remove the oil filter cap(B).
2) Remove the oil drain plug(A), and drain the oil into a container.
CAUTION:
^ Insert the SST between the oil pan and the ladder frame by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of � arrow.
^ After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction� arrow around more than 2/3 edge of the oil pan, remove it from the ladder frame.
^ Do not turn over the SST abruptly without tapping. It be result in damage of the SST.
2. Replace oil filter.
1) Remove the oil filter(B).
2) Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
3) Check the part number of the new oil filter is as same as old one.
4) Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter.
5) Lightly screw the oil filter into place, and tighten it until the gasket contacts the seat.
6) Tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.
3. Refill with engine oil filter.
^ Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
Tightening torque 34.3 - 44.1Nm (3.5 - 4.5kgf.m, 25.3 - 32.5lb-ft)
^ Fill with fresh engine oil

SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL
Recommended ILSAC classification: GF3 OR ABOVE
Recommended API classification: SJ / SL OR ABOVE
Recommended SAE viscosity grades:
NOTE: For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which:
1. Satisfy the requirement of the API classification.
2. Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range.
3. Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and API service classification on the container should not be used.
