^ Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Wear protective clothes and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand cleaner if your skin contacted used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
