Changing the Engine
Oil
_
ARNING! If the engine has been recently run,
the engine, muffler
and surrounding
metal
surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the
skin. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
To complete
an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine fora short time to warm the engine
oil. The oil will flow more freely and carry away more
impurities,
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain port on the right side of the engine.
3. Pop open the protective
cap on the end of the oil drain
valve to expose the drain port. Refer to Figure 6-1.
Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick
from the oil fill tube.
4. Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual) onto
the oil drain port. Route the opposite
end of the hose
into an appropriate
oil collection
container
with at least
a 2.5 quart capacity, to collect the used oil.
5. Pinch the tabs on the oil drain valve, then pull outward
to begin draining
oil. See Figure 6-1.

draining, push the end of
the oil drain valve back in, until the tabs click into

oil as instructed
in the Kawasaki Owner's Manual.

that are sealed and are
maintenance-free.
