Maintenance and service/Engine oil
8. Clean the rubber seal seating area of
the engine and install the oil filter by hand
turning. Be careful not to twist or damage
the seal.
9. Tighten the oil filter by the amount
indicated in the following table after the
seal makes contact with the seating sur-
face.
Oil filter color Part number
Amount of
rotation
Black
15208AA160
1 rotation
CAUTION
. Never over tighten the oil filter
because that can result in an oil
leak.
. Thoroughly wipe off any engine
oil that has spilled over the
exhaust pipe and/or under-cover.
If spill ed oil is not p romptly
wiped up, the oil could cause a
fire.
10. Pour engine oil through the filler neck.
For the oil capacity (guideline), refer to
“Engine oil” F12-4.
The oil quantity indicated above is only
guideline.
The necessary quantity of oil depends on
the quantity of oil that has been drained.
The quantity of drained oil differs slightly
depending on the temperature of the oil
and the time the oil is left flowing out. After
refilling the engine with oil, therefore, you
must use the level gauge to confirm that
the level is correct.
11. Start the engine and make sure that no
oil leaks appear around the filter’s rubber
seal and drain plug.
12. Run the engine until it reaches the
normal operating temperature. Then turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK” (off)
position and wait a few minutes to allow
the oil drain back. Check the oil level
again and if necessary, add more engine
oil.
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill engine oil
when adding it. If oil touches the
exhaust pipe, it may cause a bad
smell, smoke, and/or a fire.
& Recommended grade and
viscosity
CAUTION
Use only engine oil with the recom-
mended grade and viscosity.
Refer to “Engine oil” F12-4.
NOTE
Engine oil viscosity (thickness) affects
fuel economy. Oils of lower viscosity
provide better fuel economy. However,
in hot weather, oil of higher viscosity is
required to properly lubricate the en-
gine.
& Synthetic oil
You should use synthetic engine oil that
meets the same requirements given for
conventional engine oil. When using
synthetic oil, you must use oil of the same
classification, viscosity and grade shown
in this Owner’s Manual. Refer to “Engine
oil” F12-4. Also, you must follow the oil
and filter changing intervals shown in the
Warranty and Maintenance booklet.
NOTE
Synthetic oil of the grade and viscosity
noted in chapter 12 is the recom-
mended engine oil for optimum engine
performance. Conventional oil may be
used if synthetic oil is unavailable.
