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 protection and washing facili-
ties must be provided.

.

Recommended Precautions

The most effective precaution is to 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.

ENGINE OIL CHECK

M1121000901141

1. Pull out the engine oil dipstick, clean off the engine oil on the

engine oil dipstick, and then reinsert the engine oil dipstick.

2. Pull out the engine oil dipstick, and check the engine oil level

is within the marks on one side of the engine oil dipstick
(engine cover side.)
NOTE:

.

•

Checking the engine oil might be difficult shortly after
stopping the engine or engine oil replacement.

•

If difficult, take some time (approximately 30 seconds)
and try again.

•

Refer to the information label indicating the engine oil
check process on the rocker cover.

3. Check that the engine oil is not excessively dirty, that there

is no coolant or gasoline mixed in, and that it is sufficiently
thick and slippery.
