DRAIN/FILTER REMOVAL
WARNING
Do not drain engine oil while engine is hot, injury may result.
Prolonged contact with lubricating oil, MIL-PRF-2105, may cause a skin rash. Skin and
clothing that come in contact with lubricating oil should be thoroughly washed
immediately. Saturated clothing should be removed immediately. Areas in which
lubricating oil is used should be well ventilated to keep fumes to a minimum.
Oil is very slippery. Immediately wipe up any spills. Failure to follow this warning many
cause injury.
CAUTION
Drain the crankcase with the oil warm, not HOT, to allow for draining of waste particles that
are suspended in oil. As oil cools, suspended particles settle on the bottom of the crankcase
or oil pan and cannot be removed by draining the oil. Failure to follow this recommendation
procedure can result in waste particles being recirculated through the engine lubrication
system with the new oil.

Place container under oil pan drain valve (Figure 1, Item 1) and open valve by turning valve to counterclockwise.
2.
After engine oil has drained, close oil pan drain valve (Figure 1, Item 1) by turning valve to full clockwise.
