Removing and Replacing the Engine Oil
Tools and Supplies Needed
• SAE 30 HD Oil
• 12mm Wrench
• Suitable container for used oil
• Rags
Note: Drain the oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quicker and
more completely.
1. Position a suitable oil receptacle under the engine oil Drain Plug
and remove the Engine Oil Check/Fill Cap (Figure 40a or 40b).
2. Remove the Oil Drain Plug from the Engine Block with a 12mm
Wrench. Allow the used oil to drain completely, and then replace the
Oil Drain Plug.
3. Replace the engine oil using SAE 30 HD oil (see “Adding Engine
Oil and Gasoline” in Chapter 2 for instructions on adding oil).
4. Reattach the spark plug wire.
5. Note: Be sure to use environmentally safe procedures when disposing of the used oil.
