REPLACING 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.

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.
