the oil filter cartridge.

before inserting it.
– Insert the new oil filter cartridge in the oil filter cover and clip it into the cover press-

Filling in engine oil
Fill in fresh engine oil through the oil filling cap (2).

Then, start the engine from the driver's seat and let the engine idle without pressing
the gas pedal for about one minute. Shut off engine.
About 5 minutes after the engine has been shut off, check the oil level using the oil
dipstick. When the oil has been collected in the oil sump, the oil level should be in the
middle between the min. and the max. marking on the oil dipstick. Do not fill in too
much engine oil.
