5 Lubricate the new oil filter O-ring seal with engine
oil and install to the engine hand tightened.

still in place and in good condition. Tighten the oil pan
drain plug not exceeding 25 ft/lbs (34 Nm.)

wrench. If the oil filter area is excessively dirty, clean
around the filter area before removing the oil filter to
prevent contaminant’s reaching the engine lubricating
system. (fig. C3612)

removing the oil filter and check for dirt on the sealing
surface and to make sure the oil filter O-ring seal has not
stuck to the oil filter adapter.

of the engine oil pan to drain the oil. Have a catch con-
tainer ready to contain approximately 8 liters ( 8.5 qts) of
fluid. (fig. C3611)
