OIL AND FILTER

• Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading

to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants
which may cause skin cancer.

• Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear

protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand
cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.

• In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated

disposal sites.

1. Park the car on level ground.

Start the engine and let it warm up.

2. Turn the engine off and open the hood.

Remove the engine cover.

3. Loosen the oil filter cap by turining it clockwise with SST (09263-3C100). Allow 5 minutes for the oil in the filter

assembly to drain.

4. Drain the engine oil.

A. Remove the oil filler cap.
B. After lifting the car, remove the oil drain plug and drain the oil into a container.

5. Replace oil filter.

A. Disconnect the oil filter cap from oil filter body.
B. Remove the oil filter element.
C. Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
D. Check the part number of the new oil filter is as same as old one.
E. Install new oil filter element(A) and two new O-rings(B).

F. Apply clean engine oil to the new O-rings.

Lightly screw the oil filter cap into place, and tighten it until the O-ring contacts the seat.

G. Finally tighten it again by specified tightening torque.

Tightening torque
24.50Nm (2.5kgf.m, 18.08lb-ft)

6. Refill with engine oil.

A. Install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.

Tightening torque
34.3 ~ 44.1Nm (3.5 ~ 4.5kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.5lb-ft)

B. Fill with fresh engine oil, after removing the engine oil level gauge.

Capacity
Total : 6.0 L (6.34 US qt, 5.27 lmp qt)
Oil pan : 5.5 L (5.81 US qt, 4.83 lmp qt)
Drain and refill including oil filter : 5.2 L (5.49 US qt, 4.57 lmp qt)
Oil quality : ABOVE API SJ / SL or SAE 5W-20

C. Install the oil filler cap and oil level gauge.

7. Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter.

8. Recheck engine oil level.

INSPECTION

1. Check engine oil quality.

Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thinning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.

2. Check engine oil level.

After warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the engine stop, oil level should be between the "L" and "F"
marks on the dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to the "F" mark.

Do not fill with engine oil above the "F" mark.

SELECTION OF ENGINE OIL

Recommended API classification : Above SJ or SL
Recommended SAE viscosity grades : 5W-20
If 5W-20 engine oil is not available, 5W-30 or secondary recommanded engine oil for carrespanding temperature
range can be used.
