Oil and Oil Filter Replacement on Suzuki Samurai

Model: Suzuki Samurai JB, JA, Sj40, Sj30 - Years 1989-2003
Part: Engine oil

Open the oil filler cap located above the engine cylinder head. Lift the vehicle and locate the engine oil drain plug and the oil filter. Use a 17 mm spanner and the appropriate tool for removing the oil filter, placing an oil catch tray under the drain plug. Unscrew the 17 mm plug and wait a few minutes for all the oil to drain from the tank, then unscrew the oil filter. Take the new filter and install it, then screw the 17 mm drain plug back on. Identify the oil with the correct specifications for the engine (see the owner's manual) and fill the engine with new oil. After a few minutes, check the oil level by pulling out the dipstick and ensuring the level is between minimum and maximum. Finally, replace the oil filler cap.
