Repair Procedures: Replacement
CAUTION:
- Be careful not to damage the parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank and canister) when raising the vehicle using the lift.
(Refer to General Information - "LIFT AND SUPPORT POINTS ")
CAUTION:
- 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, thinners, or solvents.
- In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated disposal sites.

- Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
- Apply clean engine oil to the new O-rings (A).
- Lightly screw the oil filter cap into place, and tighten it until the O-ring contacts the seat.

- Do not fill oil over the 'F' mark. Frequently check the level with the oil level gauge to ensure no overfilling.
- Install the oil filler cap and the oil dipstick.
- Install the oil drain plug (A) with a new gasket.
- Start the engine and check that no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.
- Recheck the engine oil level.NOTE:
- When rechecking the engine oil level, be sure to warm up the engine sufficiently. Otherwise, the measured engine oil level may not reach the specification.
To reset the service interval to the recommended mileage, refer to the service mode section in the owner's manual for procedure (if applicable).
