Engine Oil and Filter
Engine oil quality is the chief factor affecting engine
service life. Change the engine oil as specified in the
maintenance schedule (page 56).
When running in very dusty conditions, oil changes
should be performed more frequently than specified
in the maintenance schedule.
Please dispose of used engine oil in a manner that
is compatible with the environment. We suggest you
take it in a sealed container to your local recycling
center or service station for reclamation. Do not throw
it in the trash or pour it on the ground or down a drain.

aution
Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly
left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods.
Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil
on a daily basis, it is still advisable to thoroughly
wash your hands with soap and water as soon as
possible after handling used oil.
