Engine Oil: Service and Repair

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT [MZI-3.7]

Warning
^

Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.

^

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
^

If engine oil is spilled 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.

1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the oil pan drain plug.
4. Drain the engine oil into a container.
5. Inspect the rubber seal of the oil pan drain plug and make sure there are no cracks, deterioration, or damage.

^

If necessary, replace the oil pan drain plug.

6. Clean the flange surface (seal rubber) on the oil pan drain plug, then install the oil pan drain plug.

Note
^

The amount of residual oil in the engine can vary according to factors such as the replacement method and oil temperature. Verify the oil level
after engine oil replacement.

7. Refill with the following type and amount of the engine oil.
