Notice
Water separation from the fuel filter should be performed when changing the engine oil.
Notice
After driving, the engine oil temperature may be high
enough to burn you. Wait until the oil is cooled down.
Notice
• Over-tightening may cause oil leaks.
• Replace the drain plug washer with new one.
Notice
The oil should not go above the upper mark on the dipstick. This would lead, for example, to increased oil
consumption, fouling of the spark plugs and excessive formation of carbon residue.
