   It is highly recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil.

   NOTE: Engine oil capacity is specified below. However, note that the amount of oil required when actually changing oil may somewhat differ from the data depending on various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)

   Engine oil specifications 

   Oil pan capacity: About 4.3 liters (9.09 US pt./7.57 lmp pt.) 

   Oil pan plus oil filter capacity: About 4.5 liters (9.51 US pt./7.92 lmp pt.) 

   Disassembly/Reassembly: About 5.2 liters (10.99 US pt./9.15 lmp pt.) 

10. Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
11. Install right side engine undercover.
12. Start and run engine for 3 min. After stopping the engine, wait for 5 min. Then, confirm that the specified amount of engine oil has been refilled.
