Lubricant and/or sealant
CAUTION
• For information on the element replacement interval, refer
to the element instruction manual. If the element is used be-
yond its replacement interval, it may become clogged, caus-
ing the pressure inside the engine to increase such that oil
leakage occurs.
• Be sure to remove and install the cap by hand. Using tools
could result in damage.
[Removal]
• Loosen the cap by hand.
CAUTION
• Do not use any tools to loosen the cap. Otherwise, the cap
may become damaged.
[Installation]
• Clean the thread on the cap.
• Lightly smear the O-ring with engine oil and fit it on the cap.
• Securely tighten the cap until it stops slightly above the PCV
body.
CAUTION
• Be sure to use a genuine Mitsubishi Fuso element. Using an
inappropriate element could result in engine trouble.
• When replacing the element, be sure to replace the O-ring
also.
