Engine Oil and Filter (cont'd)
Fuel Efficient Oil
For the best fuel economy from your car, it is recommended that
you use a fuel efficient SG grade oil. This oil is usually identified by
the words such as: "Energy Conserving II," "Gas Saving," and
"Fuel Saving," etc.
Changing Oil and Filter
Engine oil and the filter should be changed together every 6 months
or 7,500 miles (12,000 km), whichever comes first. The filter is
located on the engine block, below the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
The oil filter cannot easily be removed from above the engine. For
this reason it is recommended that the oil filter change be done by
a skilled mechanic.
1. Start the car to warm up the
engine, then shut it off.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt, and drain the oil.
A warmed-up engine and the oil
in it are hot; be careful not to
burn yourself.
3. Remove the oil filter and let the
remaining oil drain out.
4. Install a new filter according to
the instructions on or with the
filter.
5. Reinstall the drain bolt with a new
washer and tighten it securely.
Refill the engine with the recom-
mended oil, to the upper mark on
the dipstick.
