Engine Oil and Filter Change

WARNING
Spilled oil left on engine components or in the engine area may pose a fire hazard. Use shop rags to clean any spilled oil. If needed, use a non-flammable solvent on the rag to aid the cleaning process. Do not use any device such as pressurized water or air as this may disperse the oil onto engine components and could pose a fire hazard.
