Changing the oil and oil filter
N.B. Before draining the oil, make sure that it is at normal
working temperature.
1. Remove the drain plug from the underside of the sump and
drain the oil. Fit the plug with a new gasket.
2. Clean the area round the filter and place a tray under the fil-
ters to collect any spillage.
3. Remove and discard the filter canister, which are of dispos-
able type.
4. Pour clean oil into the centre of the new filter, wait until the
oil has seeped through the filter paper and top up until the fil-
ter are full.
5. Lubricate the canister seal with oil.
6. Fit the new filter and tighten it - by hand only.
7. Fill the engine with oil (see Group 90, Lubrication chart).
8. Run the engine and check that no oil leaks at the filter.
9. Stop the engine and check the oil level after a few minutes.
Top up as necessary to the MAX level on the dipstick.
N.B. To avoid serious damage to the engine, use only genu-
ine Kalmar filter.
