How to renew the canister of the lubricating oil lter
Warning! Discard the used canister and lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local
regulations.
1. Clean thoroughly the outside surfaces of the oil lter.
2. Use a strap wrench or similar tool to just loosen the lter canister. Put a plastic bag (Q2) over the lter
canister; the bag should t loosely over the lter to retain spilt oil. Remove and discard safely the canister and
the plastic bag that will contain the spilt oil.
3. Lubricate the seal (Q1) on top of the canister with clean engine lubricating oil.
4. Fit the new canister and tighten by hand until the seal contacts the cylinder block. Tighten the canister a
further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn by hand only. Do not use a strap wrench.
5. Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump. Start the engine and run until oil pressure is obtained.
Check for leakage from the lter. Stop the engine. After 15 minutes check the oil level on the dipstick and, if
necessary, put more lubricating oil into the sump.
Cautions:
• Do not ll the sump past the notch on the dipstick.
• The canister contains a valve and special tube to ensure that lubricating oil does not drain from the lter.
Therefore, ensure that the correct Perkins POWERPART canister is used.
