Warning:
-

Remove and install all parts when the engine is cold, otherwise they can cause severe burns or serious injury.

-

A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never
work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands.

-

Continuous exposure to used engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water
immediately after working with engine oil.

Caution: In case you spill engine oil on the exhaust system, wipe it off completely. If you fail to wipe the spilled engine oil, it will produce
fumes because of the heat.

3. Remove the oil pan drain plug.
4. Drain the engine oil into a container.
