Refilling
the Engine
This section is about refilling
the engine with oil.
-
The first and most important step is
making sure the oil plug is securely in place.
-
The new oil filter needs to be put
now. (When putting the oil filter on, the O-ring should
be coated with oil)
-
Find the oil cap (1) and remove it.
(Most vehicles have a cap that is labeled with an
oil can symbol)
-
Check owner's manual for exact amount
of oil to use.
-
Next pour in the oil. (use
a funnel to prevent from spilling the oil on the engine head)
-
Now the oil cap can be replaced.
-
Check the dipstick (2)to see the level
of the oil.
-
Start the vehicle and let it run for
a few minutes, this fills the oil filter with oil.
-
Turn the vehicle off and let the oil
settle. (takes five minutes to settle)
-
Check the dipstick (2) again to make
sure there is enough oil.
-
Now that the engine is refilled with
oil, properly dispose of the old oil.
