5.2 Periodic Inspection Items

5.2.1 Inspection After Initial 50Hrs. Operation

(1) Replacing the Engine Oil and Engine Oil Filter (1st time)
Precautions for Removing Hot Oil to Prevent Burns
If extracting oil from the engine while it is still hot, do not let the oil splash
on you.
During initial operation of the engine, the oil is quickly contaminated due to the initial wear of inter-
nal parts. The engine oil must therefore be replaced early. Replace the engine oil filter, too, at
this time.
1) Drain off the engine oil.
Engine oil is convenient to drain before the
engine has cooled down.
① After removing the oil dipstick, attach
the hose of the oil drain pump (optional)
to the dipstick guide.
② Prepare a container to receive drain oil
and the oil with the oil drain pump.
③ Pump out remove the drain plug at the
bottom of the engine oil cooler and drain
off the oil inside. (6LPA-STP/-STZP)
2) Replace the engine oil filter.
① Remove the engine oil filter with the
filter wrench. (Turn counter-clockwise)
② Clean the filter installation face and
apply a little of engine oil there.
③ Put on the new filter, turning it clockwise
by hand and tighten an additional
3/4 of a turn with the filter wrench.

level.
② Run the engine for approximately 5 min-
utes and check that no oil leaks out dur-
ing operation.

stopping the engine. Check the oil level
again with the oil dipstick and add to the
specified level.
