Unless you are technically qualified and have the proper
tools, you should let your dealer or a qualified service
center perform this maintenance.

When to Check

Check oil level every 30,000 miles (50 000 km) or every
36 months, whichever occurs first.

What Kind of Oil to Use

See “Recommended Fluids and Lubricants” in the Index
and use only the recommended oil.

How to Check and Add Oil

Check oil only when the engine is cold. Allow the

Do not remove the plug until the engine cools.

1. Clean the area around the oil fill plug before

removing it.

2. Remove the oil fill plug using a 3/16 inch 

Allen wrench.
