CHANGING THE OIL FILTER
Replace the oil lter every time the engine oil is drained.
1. Remove the oil lter with a lter wrench tool. Turn the
lter counter-clockwise (CCW). Remove the gasket.

impurities from entering the engine.
3. Apply a lm of oil on the new gasket. Screw the new
lter by hand with the new gasket. When the gasket
contacts the mating surface, turn the lter a half turn.
4. Fill with proper amount of new oil. Check for leaks
and check the oil level.
5. Start the engine and let it operate few minutes at idle.
Check if the oil pressure warning lamp turns off.
6. Stop the engine, wait for the engine to cool down and
check the oil level. Top up if necessary.
