Oil Filter: Service and Repair

OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT





1. Remove the oil filter using the filter wrench.
2. Use a clean rag to wipe off the mounting surface on the oil cooler.
3. Apply clean engine oil to the O-ring of new oil
4. Install the oil filter until the O-ring contacts the sealing surface of the oil cooler.
5. Tighten the filter 3/4 turns using the filter wrench.

Caution: In case you spill engine oil on the protector under the filter, wipe it off cleanly. If you fail to wipe the spilled oil, it will produce a white fume because of the heat.

6. Start the engine and inspect for oil leakage.
7. Inspect the oil level.
- Add oil if necessary.
