Engine Oil Change

Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature of the coolant reaches 80 °C to 90 °C (176 - 194 °F).
WARNING: Use care as engine oil could be hot.
Remove the engine oil filler cap.
Remove the engine oil pan drain plug to drain engine oil.
Install a new engine oil pan drain plug gasket and then tighten the engine oil pan drain plug to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 39 ± 5 N.m (29 ± 3 ft-lb)
Refill with specified quantity of engine oil.
Specified Engine Oil:

Engine oils displaying the ILSAC certification symbol ("Starburst" symbol) or conforming to the API classification SN

Total quantity (Includes volume inside engine oil filter):
- < 2.4 L ENGINE >: 4.6 dm ³ (4.86 quarts)
- < 3.0 L ENGINE >: 4.3 dm ³ (4.54 quarts)
NOTE: SAE 0W-20 engine oil is strongly recommended for optimum fuel economy and cold starting.
