Procedure:

-- Pull the oil dipstick or plug out of the guide tube.

-- Guide the oil extraction device extraction probe into the guide tube. Use a flexible extraction probe with the largest possible diameter and guide it in without using great force. Otherwise, the tip can get deflected at the bottom of the oil pan, causing a large amount of used engine oil to remain in the engine.

-- Extract all of the engine oil. Observe the operating instructions for the extraction device.

-- Then install the oil dipstick or plug.

NOTE:

Perform the oil change at operating temperature.

Follow all disposal regulations.

Pay attention to cleanliness.
