ENGINE OIL (CHANGE)
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature of the coolant reaches 80°C (176°F) to 90°C (194°F).
WARNING: Use care as oil could be hot.
2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
4. Install a new drain plug gasket so that it faces in the direction shown in the illustration, and then tighten the drain plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 ± 5 Nm (29 ± 3 ft. lbs.)
CAUTION:
^ Do not use conventional petroleum based motor oil. Using conventional motor oil may cause engine or turbocharger damage.
^ Do not used blends of conventional oil and synthetic oil.
5. Refill the specified quantity of oil.
^ Specified Engine Oil: Fully synthetic engine oils displaying ILSAC certification symbol (Starburst symbol) or conforming to the API classification SL or SL/CF or higher
^ Total quantity (Includes volume inside oil filter and oil cooler): 5.1 dm3 (5.4 quarts)
NOTE: SAE 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil can be used to improve engine startability in very cold weather areas where the lowest atmospheric temperature is below -18°C (0°F).
6. Install the engine oil filler cap.
7. Start the engine and run it at idle for a few minutes.
8. Stop the engine and check to ensure that the engine oil level is within the level range indicated on the dip stick.
