3. Stop the engine, place the gear selector in gear and set the
parking brake.

Contact with hot oil can result in skin burns. Do not allow hot
oil to contact skin.
6. Remove the drain plug. Allow the oil to drain completely.
7. It is recommended to remove and replace the copper sealing
washer. The sealing surfaces on drain plug and crankcase
should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
8. Reinstall the drain plug and a new copper sealing washer.
Torque between 30-40 Nm.

wrench, turn the filter counterclockwise to remove it. (Refer

10. Using a clean dry cloth, clean the filter sealing surface on the
crankcase. And verify the old o-ring is not stuck to the engine
block.

engine oil. Check to make sure the o-ring is in good condition.
12. Install the new filter and turn by hand until the filter gasket
contacts the sealing surface, then turn an additional 1/2 turn.
