Oil Filter -- Replacement |
- CAUTION:
- Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the loss of natural skin oils leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants, which may cause skin cancer.
- Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid contact with used oil. If contact occurs, wash the area thoroughly with soap or waterless hand cleaner. Never use gasoline, thinners or solvents to wash the skin.
- In order to protect the environment, dispose of used oil and oil filters at designated disposal sites only.
