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 (U1). Put a suitable container under
the lter assembly to retain spilt oil. Remove and discard safely the canister. Ensure that the adaptor (U3) is
secure in the lubricating oil cooler.
3. Clean the contact face of the lubricating oil cooler.
4. Lubricate the seal (U2) on top of the canister with clean engine lubricating oil.
5. 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.
6. Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump. Start the engine and run at idle speed 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.
Do not ll the sump past the notch on the dipstick.
Cautions:
• 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.
