caution to avoid burns.

oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities.
Use care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Locate the oil drain port on the right side of the engine.
3. Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil drain
valve to expose the drain port. Refer to Figure 6-1. Remove
the oil fill cap/dipstick from the oil fill tube.
4. Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual) onto the
oil drain port. Route the opposite end of the hose into an
appropriate oil collection container with at least a 2.0 quart
capacity, to collect the used oil.
