When checking the level or condition of the engine oil, change the engine oil if necessary (including oil filter) in the following way:
1. Stop the engine and wait a few minutes for the oil to collect in the oil pan.
2. Remove the oil filler cap.
3. Remove the oil drain plug and drain the oil.
4. After the oil has drained completely, tighten the oil drain plug to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
5. Change the oil filter using an oil filter wrench.
Important: Whenever you change the engine oil, also change the oil filter. When installing a new oil filter, apply engine oil to the oil filter seal.
