ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

WARNINGHot engines and the engine oil can cause severe burn. Do not burn yourself with either. A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported on safety stands. Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in laboratory mice. Protect your skin washing with soap and water immediately after working with engine oil.
