OIL AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will cause removal of natural oils from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.

  • Precautions should be taken when replacing engine oil to minimize the risk of your skin making contact with used engine oil. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use a waterless hand cleaner to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners or solvents.

  • For environmental protection, used oil and used oil filters must be disposed of at designated disposal sites.

      40 N*m  { 408 kgf*cm, 30 ft.*lbf }

  4. INSTALL ENGINE UNDER COVER SIDE PLATE RH


    1. B000P1NC01
      *1 Engine Under Cover Side Plate RH
      *2 No. 2 Engine Under Cover Assembly

      Install the engine under cover side plate RH with the 2 screws as shown in the illustration.

  5. REMOVE ENGINE UNDER COVER REINFORCEMENT


    1. B000R6C

      Remove the 4 bolts and engine under cover reinforcement.

  6. REMOVE OIL FILTER CAP ASSEMBLY


    1. B000SICC02
      *a Rib

      Using SST, remove the oil filter cap assembly.

      Note

      Do not remove the oil filter bracket clip.

      Tech Tips

      Use a container to catch the draining oil. After the oil filter cap assembly is loosened approximately 4 turns and the cap ribs are vertical, engine oil drains from the gap between the oil filter cap and oil pan.

    2. B000OM6C01
      *1 Oil Filter Element
      *2 Oil Filter Cap Assembly
      *3 O-ring

      Remove the oil filter element and O-ring from the oil filter cap assembly.

      Note

      Do not use any tools to remove the O-ring in order to prevent the oil filter cap assembly from being damaged. Be sure to remove it by hand.

  7. INSTALL OIL FILTER CAP ASSEMBLY


    1. Clean the inside of the oil filter cap assembly, the threads and O-ring groove.

    2. B000Q5QC03
      *1 O-Ring
      *a CORRECT
      *b INCORRECT

      Apply a light coat of engine oil to a new O-ring for the cap, and then install the O-ring to the groove of the oil filter cap assembly.

      Note


      • Be sure to install the O-ring in the proper location, otherwise oil may leak.

      • Do not twist the O-ring.

      Tech Tips

      Attach a new O-ring after brakes cleaner volatilized enough when use brakes cleaner to prevent the deterioration of the O-ring.

    3. Set a new oil filter element to the oil filter cap assembly.

    4. Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the installation surface of the engine.

    5. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring again and install the oil filter cap assembly.

      Note

      Make sure that the O-ring does not get caught between the parts.

    6. B000Q3YC03
      *1 Oil Filter Cap Assembly
      *2 O-Ring
      *3 Oil Filter Bracket
      *a No Gap

      Using SST, tighten the oil filter cap assembly.

      Torque:
      25 N*m  { 255 kgf*cm, 18 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      After tightening the oil filter cap assembly, make sure that there is no gap and that the O-ring is not protruding.
