Figure 6 Remove Oil Filter
Clean the area around filter. Place the oil drain pan under
the filter area. Remove the filter (4) from the engine and
allow the oil to drain into the oil drain pan (Figure 6).
The O-ring (5) may have remained on engine (6) or filter
(7) (Figure 7). If the O-ring (5) remained on the engine
surface (6), remove it and discard with the filter (7).
Figure 7 Inspect Oil Filter
Inspect the new oil filter for any defects. Apply engine oil
to the oil filter O-ring (5). Install the oil filter onto the
engine until the seal contacts the mounting surface of the
engine. Turn the filter 2/3 to 3/4 rotation by HAND. Pour
the specified type and amount of oil into the oil filler open-
ing.
Oil capacity is 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters). Add slightly less
than 1 1/3 quarts (1.3 liters) to allow for possible residual
oil left in engine (Figure 8). The oil must be high quality oil
that meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards. Check
the oil level on the dipstick. Oil should be slightly below H
to allow for expansion. If necessary, continue to add oil
slowly and allow time for oil to flow down into engine.
Check the oil level on dipstick. Do not overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause
smoking or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Figure 8 Add Engine Oil
Both the oil dipstick and the fill cap must be in place
before operating the engine. Failure to install the dip-
stick and fill cap will result in oil being discharged into
the engine compartment.
Start the vehicle, allow the engine to run for a few minutes
to fill up the oil filter. Stop the vehicle on a level surface,
set the park brake and remove the key. Check for oil
leaks at the drain plug and oil filter. Tighten the drain plug
or oil filter if a leak is found. Check the oil level on the dip-
stick, add oil if necessary.
Like all liquids, oil increases in volume when warm. The
full H mark on the dipstick is calibrated for an engine at
operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the oil
will be below the full mark. The engine can be operated
safely as long as the oil is within the safe operating range
as indicated on the dipstick. Do not operate vehicle if oil
level is below the safe area indicated on the dipstick.
