How to change the oil
- Warm up the engine: Drive the vehicle for a few minutes to bring the oil to operating temperature, which helps it drain more thoroughly.

- Replace drain plug: Once the oil has fully drained, reinstall the drain plug with a new crush washer and torque it to the specified 19 lb-ft (25 Nm).
- Remove oil filter: Locate the oil filter. Place a small drain pan beneath it to catch any residual oil, then unscrew the old oil filter.
