Engine Oil Oil and Filter Changes Always change the oil and filter according to the time and distance (miles, kilometers) recommendations on the maintenance schedule. The oil and filter collect contaminants that can damage your engine if they are not removed regularly. Changing the oil and filter requires special tools and access from underneath the car. The car should be raised on a service station-type hydraulic lift for this service. Unless you have the knowledge and proper equipment, you should have this maintenance done by a skilled mechanic. Repeated, prolonged exposure to used motor oil may cause skin cancer. Wash your hands thoroughly with strong soap as soon as possible after handling used oil. 1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature, then shut it off. OIL DRAIN BOLT The oil, engine components and the exhaust system are hot and can burn you. Use caution and wear protective clothing while working in the engine compartment. 2. Open the hood and remove the oil fill cap. Remove the oil drain bolt from the bottom of the engine. Drain the oil into an appropriate container. continued Maintenance
