Remove the oil filter and let the
remaining oil drain. A special
wrench (available from your
dealer) is required.

Remove the oil drain bolt and
washer from the bottom of the
engine. Drain the oil into an
appropriate container.

Always change the oil and filter
according to the maintenance
messages shown on the multi-
information display. The oil and filter
collect contaminants that can
damage your engine if they are not
removed regularly.

Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.

Open the hood and remove the
engine oil fill cap.

Remove the bolt located on the
underside of the body with a
wrench, then remove the
maintenance cover.

Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
technician.
