CONSTRUCTION
An oil filter with a replaceable oil filter element is used. The oil filter element uses a high-performance filter paper to improve filtration performance. It is also combustible for environmental friendliness.
A plastic filter cap is used for weight reduction.
An oil drain construction, in which oil is drained by aligning the cutouts on the case and the cap, is used. This prevents oil from splashing while the oil filter element is being replaced, thus allowing the operation to be performed without touching the hot engine oil.

Tech Tips
To drain oil, rotate the cap approximately four turns, and align the cutouts on the cap and the case by using the rib as a reference.
