CONSTRUCTION
An oil filter with a replaceable element is used. The element uses high-performance filter paper to improve filtration performance. It is also combustible for environmental protection.
This oil filter has a structure which can drain the oil remaining in the oil filter. This prevents oil from spattering when replacing the element and allows the technician to work without touching hot oil.

Tech Tips
The oil in the oil filter can be drained by removing the drain plug and inserting the oil filter drain pipe supplied with the element into the oil filter. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.
The engine oil maintenance interval for a model that has an oil filter with a replaceable element is the same as that for the conventional model.
