MAINTENANCE
Oil and Filter Change
Always change the oil and filter at the intervals outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 59. To change the oil properly,
always drain the oil tank and change the oil filter.
If oil contamination (water, mud,
metal shavings) is suspected in the
engine sump, the sump should also be
drained. Draining the engine sump will
require additional oil not contained in
the oil change kit. The total oil capac-
ity of the engine sump and oil tank
combined is 2.25 qts. (2.1 liters).
1. Position the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Place the transmission in neutral.
3. Lock the parking brake.
4. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for
two to three minutes. Stop the engine.
5. Clean the area around the oil tank
drain plug.
6. Place a drain pan under the oil tank.
7. Remove the drain plug. Use a 14 mm
wrench.
8. Drain the oil.
CAUTION! Hot oil can cause burns to skin. Do
not allow hot oil to contact skin.
9. Reinstall the oil tank drain plug. The sealing surfaces on the drain
plug and oil tank should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or
scratches.
10. Torque to specification. See page 64.
