Change engine oil and oil filter
1. To ensure that the oil is completely drained, it is recommended to preheat the engine.
2. Remove the mudguard from under the engine.
3. Place a suitable container under the left side of the engine, unscrew the oil filler cap from the valve cover. Unscrew the drain plug from the pan (photo), and let the oil drain.
4. Unscrew the oil filter from the casing using the filter belt if necessary (photo).
5. Clean the mating surfaces of the new oil filter and housing, then lubricate the filter seal with oil. Screw the filter onto the casing, and tighten it only with your hand (photo).
6. Clean the drain plug and check that the washer is in good condition. Replace the washer if necessary, clean the pan around the plug hole, then install and tighten the drain plug.
7. Fill in the correct amount of oil through the oil filler hole on the valve cover. Install the stopper.
8. Start the engine to check for leaks, then install the mudguard.

Check engine oil level
11. Park the vehicle on a level surface. If the engine has been running, wait a few minutes for the oil to drain into the sump.
12. Remove the dipstick from the pipe, wipe it off, reinsert it completely and remove it. The oil level should be at or near the maximum level mark. If not, add oil after removing the oil filler cap. The difference between the minimum and maximum marks is 1.0 liter (photo).
