- Periodic oil and oil filter changes are the most important preventative maintenance procedure. As engine oil ages, it becomes thin and contaminated, leading to premature engine wear.
- Start the engine and warm it up to a temperature of 80-90°C.
- Remove the engine oil filler cap.
- Remove the lower engine splash shield.
- Loosen the engine oil drain plug about half a turn (Fig. 4.43). Place a container to catch the oil under the oil drain plug and unscrew the plug completely. If necessary, apply pressure to the plug while unscrewing to prevent the oil from leaking prematurely. Wait until all the oil has drained from the oil pan into the container.
