ENGINE OILS

WARNING

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. Adequate means of skin pro-
tection and washing facilities must be provided.

.

Recommended Precautions

The most effective precaution is to adapt working
practices which prevent, as far as practical, the risk
of skin contact with mineral oils i.e. use enclosed
systems for handling used engine oil and degrease
components, where practical, before handling them.

.

Other precautions:

• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oil,

particularly used engine oil.

• Wear protective clothing, including impervious

gloves where practical.

• Avoid contaminating clothes with oil.

• Do not put oily rags in pockets.

• Do not wear heavily soiled clothing and

oil-soaked foot-wear. Overalls must be cleaned
regularly and kept separate from personal cloth-
ing.

• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protec-

tion should be worn i.e. chemical goggles or face
shields. In addition, an eye wash facility should
be provided.

• Obtain first aid treatment immediately for open

cuts and wounds.

• Wash regularly with soap and water to ensure all

oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes
will help). After cleaning, apply lotion, etc., con-
taining lanolin to replace natural skin oils is
advised.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas

oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.

• Apply barrier creams before each work period.

• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice

immediately.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE

ENGINE OIL CHECK

M1121000900397

1. Pull out the oil dipstick slowly and check that the oil level is

within the marks on the oil dipstick.

2. Check that the oil is not excessively dirty, that there is no

coolant or gasoline mixed in, and that it is sufficiently thick
and slippery.

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

M1121001000706

1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the

temperature of the coolant reaches 80

− 90°C (176 −

194

°F).

WARNING

Use care as oil could be hot.

2. Remove the engine oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
