Handling engine oil

Be particularly careful of burns, etc., when handling (removing) oil that has been inside the engine, such as during oil replacement.
Also make sure to use safety glasses so that nothing gets in the eyes.
Take note of flames when handling oil as well as gasoline. Place removed oil into specified waste oil tanks, etc., and under no circumstances should it be poured down a drain, etc.

Removal and installation of radiator cap
  • Make sure to apply a cloth to the cap, holding it lightly from above and turning it slowly approximately 90 deg in a counterclockwise direction.
  • In this position, lightly shake the radiator cap in all directions. removing the pressure to the reservoir tank side.
  • Confirm that the pressure has been released before removing the radiator cap.
Handling of long life coolant
  • If long life coolant has been spilled around the radiator or reservoir tank while refilling, it will peel off the coated surfaces of parts, so make sure to rinse with water immediately.
  • If any gets into your eyes, rinse immediately with large amounts of water.
Do not pour coolant down a drain, instead place it into a waste tank. (Tanks are separated differently for each store, and so the waste tank may be different form that for the waste oil, etc.)
