What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could even cause cancer.
Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very long.
Clean your skin and nails with soap and water, or a good
hand cleaner. Wash or properly dispose of clothing or
rags containing used engine oil. See the manufacturer’s
warnings about the use and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from
the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by putting
it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into sewers,
or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by
taking it to a place that collects used oil. If you have
a problem properly disposing of your used oil, ask your
dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
See Engine Compartment

(if equipped).
When to Inspect
If your vehicle is equipped with a filter change indicator
it lets you know when the filter needs to be replaced.
Vehicles with a restriction indicator, inspect the air
cleaner/filter at every oil change and replace the filter
when the indicator tells you to. Vehicles without a
change indicator, inspect the air cleaner/filter at every
oil change and replace it at the first oil change after
25,000 miles (40 000 km).
