WARNING:
-
When the engine and the engine oil are hot, they can badly burn. Don't burn yourself with either.
-
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 with USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water
immediately after this work.
