Changing the Engine Oil and
Filter

procedure when changing the
engine oil and filter. Follow this
procedure closely.

oil back into the dry sump
oil tank.
2. Turn the engine off prior to
draining the oil.
3. Remove the engine oil drain
plug from the bottom of the
engine oil pan. Drain plug
removal will let the oil drain
from the external oil tank and
residual oil from the crankcase
sump. Allow the oil to drain.
4. Remove the engine oil filter
and allow the oil to drain.
5. Inspect the drain plug O-ring
seal and replace if it is
damaged. Reinstall the drain
plug into the oil pan and tighten
it to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
6. Replace the oil filter and
tighten it three-quarters to one
turn after the gasket makes
contact. See Maintenance
Replacement Parts 0 296 for
the correct filter.
