Oil Change on a Suzuki Samurai

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

Working with the engine off and the handbrake engaged, lift the bonnet and secure it. Unscrew the top cap of the engine oil reservoir and raise the vehicle, then lower yourself underneath and place a plastic container under the oil sump. Unscrew the bolt that serves as the plug for the drain hole and collect the lubricant in the container (remember to dispose of it properly at recycling centres). Measure the amount of oil drained and refill with the same quantity using a 10W-40 engine lubricant, after closing the drain hole.
