WARNING:

Hot engines and engine oil can cause severe burns. Turn off the 
engine and wait until it and the engine oil have cooled.  

A vehicle that is lifted but not securely supported on safety stands is 
dangerous. It can slip or fall, causing death or serious injury. Never 
work around or under a lifted vehicle if it is not securely supported 
on safety stands.  

Continuous exposure to USED engine oil has caused skin cancer in 
laboratory mice. Protect your skin by washing with soap and water 
immediately after working with engine oil.  

CAUTION:

If engine oil is spilled on the exhaust system, wipe it off completely. If 
you fail to wipe the spilled engine oil, it will produce fumes because 
of the heat.
