Engine Coolant Heater
(Engine Block Heater)
An engine coolant heater can be a big
help if you have to park outside in very
cold weather,
0°F
(-18°C)
or
colder. If
your vehicle has this option, see
Engine
Coolant Heater
in the
Index.
What to
Do
with Used Oil
Did you
know
that used engine oil
contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your
skin
and could even
cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay on
your skin for very long. Clean your
skin
and nails with soap and water, or a
good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
throw away clothing or rags containing
used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s
warnings about the use and disposal of
oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat.,t.o the
environment. If you change your
own
oil, be sure to drain all free-flowing oil
from
the filter before disposal. Don’t
ever dispose of oil by putting it in the
trash, pouring it
on
the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of
water. Instead, recycle it by taking it to
a place that collects used oil.
If
you
have a problem properly disposing of
your used oil, ask your dealer, a service
station or a local recycling center for
help.
Air
Cleaner
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to
determine when to replace the air filter.
See
Scheduled Maintenance Services
in
the
Index.

NOTICE:
If the air cleaner is
off,
a backfire
can cause a damaging engine fire.
And,
dirt
can easily get into your
engine, which will damage
it.
Always have the air cleaner in place
when you’re driving.
