OIL AND OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

CAUTION:


  • Prolonged and repeated contact with engine oil will result in the 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.

  • Wear protective clothing and gloves. Avoid contact with used oil. If contact occurs, wash your skin 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 used oil filters at designated disposal sites only.

        Note

        Do not remove the oil filter bracket clip when removing the oil filter cap assembly.

        Tech Tips

        Set a container below the oil filter cap assembly before loosening the oil filter cap assembly.

      2. Remove the oil filter cap assembly.

      3. B001MWMC07
        *1 Oil Filter Element
        *2 O-ring
        *3 Oil Filter Cap Assembly

        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.

  4. INSTALL OIL FILTER


    1. for Oil Filter Sub-assembly Type:


      1. Check and clean the oil filter sub-assembly installation surface.

      2. Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter sub-assembly.

      3. Lightly screw the oil filter sub-assembly into place by hand. Tighten it until the gasket contacts the seat.

      4. Using SST, tighten the oil filter sub-assembly.

          Depending on the work space available, choose from the following:

        • If enough space is available, use a torque wrench to tighten the oil filter sub-assembly.

        Torque:
        17.5 N*m  { 178 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }

        • If not enough space is available to use a torque wrench, tighten the oil filter sub-assembly 3/4 of a turn by hand or use a common wrench.

    2. for Oil Filter Element Kit Type:


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

      2. B001M2FC21
        *1 O-ring
        *a Correct
        *b Incorrect

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

        Note


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

        • Do not twist the O-ring.

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

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

      5. B001N05

        Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring of the oil filter cap assembly again. Align the cutout in the oil filter cap assembly threads 90° to the grooves in the oil filter bracket and temporarily tighten the oil filter cap assembly.

        Note

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