The engine oil and filter should be changed at
those intervals specified in the maintenance

driven in severe conditions, more frequent oil
and filter changes are required.
If the oil level is close to or below the "L" mark,
add oil until it reaches the "F" mark. To add oil:

The procedure for changing the oil and filter is
as follows:
Replace the cap by turning it clockwise.

Park the vehicle on level ground and set the
parking brake. Start the engine and let it
warm up until the needle on the coolant

selector lever in "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear (manual transaxle). Set the parking
brake.
The distance between the "F" and "L" marks is
equal to about 1 quart of oil.
