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. |
Wait for 5 minutes after loosening the oil filter cap to drain fully the oil in the oil filter. |
4. |
Drain engine oil.
(1) |
Remove the oil filler cap.
(Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Filter") |
(2) |
After lifting the car, remove the engine room under cover. |
(3) |
Remove the oil drain plug (A) and drain oil into a container. |
|
5. |
Replace the oil filter.
(Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Filter") |
6. |
Fill new engine oil.
(1) |
Install the oil drain plug (A) with a new gasket.
Tightening torque :
34.3 ~ 44.1N.m (3.5 ~ 4.5kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.5lb-ft)
|
|
(2) |
Fill with new engine oil, while check the oil level on the dipstick.
Capacity
Total : 6.5L (6.87 US qt, 5.72lmp qt, 1.72 US.gal)
Oil pan : 6.0L (6.34 US qt, 5.28lmp qt, 1.58 US.gal)
Drain and refill including oil filter :
5.7L (6.02 US qt, 5.01lmp qt, 1.50 US.gal)
|
• |
Fill the crankcase to about half the capacity and then fill the remainder after waiting. |
• |
Do not fill oil over the 'F' line, checking the level with the oil level gauge. frequently to ensure no overfilling. |
|
|
(3) |
Install the oil filler cap and the oil dipstick. |
|
7. |
Start the engine and check to be sure no oil is leaking from the drain plug or oil filter. |
8. |
Recheck the engine oil level. |
1. |
Check the engine oil quality. Check the oil deterioration,
addition of water or coolant, discoloring or thinning. If the quality is
visibly poor, replace the oil. |
2. |
Check the 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
in 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
Recommendation : 5W-30/A5 (If not available, refer to the
recommended ACEA, API or ILSAC classification and SAE viscosity number.)
ACEA classification : A3, A5 or above
SAE viscosity grade : Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity number.
For best performance and maximum protection of all types of operation, select only those lubricants which :
1. |
Satisfy the requirement of the ACEA classification. |
2. |
Have proper SAE grade number for expected ambient temperature range. |
3. |
Lubricants that do not have both an SAE grade number and ACEA service classification on the container should not be used. |
