new oil filter (3).
NOTICE
Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them.
This oil would not be filtered and could be contaminat-
ed. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to
engine components.
4. Install the new oil filter (3). Spin on the oil filter
until the O ring contacts the sealing surface (2).
Then rotate the oil filter ¾ of a full turn. Remove
the container and disposal of the waste oil in

1. Place a suitable container below the oil filter
assembly. Remove the drain plug (1) and allow
the oil to drain.
2. Remove the oil filter with a suitable tool.
Note: The following actions can be carried out as
part of the preventive maintenance program.
3. Cut the oil filter open with a suitable tool. Break
apart the pleats and inspect the oil filter for metal
debris. An excessive amount of metal debris in
the oil filter may indicate early wear or a pending
failure.
Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous
metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in
the oil filter element. Ferrous metals may indicate
wear on the steel and cast iron parts of the engine.
Nonferrous metals may indicate wear on the
aluminum parts, brass parts, or bronze parts of
the engine. Parts that may be affected include the
following items: main bearings, rod bearings, and
turbocharger bearings.
Due to normal wear and friction, it is not
uncommon to find small amounts of debris in the
oil filter.
4. Install the drain plug (1) and tighten to a torque of
12 N·m (106 lb in).
5. Clean the sealing surface (2).
