Oil Fill Capacity
The crankcase oil fill capacity was incorrectly listed in the first
printing of the 2002 Owner's Manual and the SI 2000 Service Information
as 5.5 L (5.8 qts) which may result in a slight overfill condition. The correct oil fill capacity is 4.75 L (5.0 qts).
This information is being updated in SI 2000 and future printings
of the Owner's Manual.
Draining and Refilling Engine Oil
Important: When changing the oil on vehicles equipped with this engine, remove
the oil fill cap and/or the oil filter cap prior to removing the oil pan drain
plug.
Keeping the caps in place may create a vacuum effect that can slow the
draining process. Allow sufficient time for thorough draining of the engine
oil.
