Engine lubricant oil filter replacement
The filter must also be replaced when the lubricant oil is changed.
Only use filters with a filtering degree that is the same as the previous
one (see the FREQUENCY chapter).
 Only proceed with the engine stopped and at low temperature, in
order to avoid the risk of burning.
 Place a container for collecting the spent oil under the filter
support (1).
 Unscrew and remove the filter (2) from its relative support (1) by
suitable tool.
 Replace the filter element and the sealing gasket contained inside
the filter (2).
 Carefully clean the surfaces of the support (1) in contact with the
sealing gasket.
 Moisten the sealing gasket of the new filter (2) with a thin layer of
oil.
 Manually tighten the new filter (2) on the support (1) until it comes
into contact with the gasket. Additionally tighten it using a specific
tool to a torque of 20 ± 2 Nm.
 Operate the engine for a few minutes and then check the level
using the dipstick. If necessary, top up to compensate for the
quantity of oil used to fill up the filtering cartridge.
