WARNING
• Do not attempt to change engine oil when the engine is hot or even warm. Engine oil can
cause skin burns.
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle. Wear rubber
gloves when handling oil drain plug, oil filter, and oil drain pan.
6. Clean the oil drain plug threads with solvent to remove oil and oil residue. Make sure that the compres-
sion washer remains on the drain plug.
7. Use a 14 mm socket or box end (do not use an open end) wrench and replace the front oil drain plug,
turning it clockwise, and tighten to 18 ft-lb (24.4 N·m).
8. Relocate the oil drain pan to a position under the engine oil filter
(Figure 27)
.
9. Remove the engine oil filter (1), turning it counterclockwise, allowing the residual oil in the filter port and
filter to drain into the oil drain pan (2)
(Figure 28)
.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: An oil drip guard (3) can be used to prevent excess oil from dripping into the engine base plate.
Use an empty quart (one liter) container and cut the bottom off at an angle, then slide the open
area of the container up and under the oil filter prior to removing. Position the port of the plastic
container so oil will be directed into the oil pan. Or, make a drip guard by folding a piece of card-
board, thin metal, or plastic under the oil filter forming a channel to direct the filter port oil into the
drain pan.
Dispose of used oil according to the environmental laws and regulations for your area.
