Replacing engine oil filter
Replace the oil filters each time the oil is changed, i.e.
every 500
hours. CH-4 class: every 500 hours, if lower than CG-4 class:
every 250 hours. See
Checking engine oil level
on page 163.
The oil filter is of the disposable type, i e. it cannot be cleaned,
but should be replaced as one unit.

After installing
5 Start up the engine and check that the gaskets are sealed. If it
does not, remove the filter and check the sealing surface.
NOTE:
Usually it does not help to further tighten the filter.
IMPORTANT
After replacing oil filters, the engine must run at low idling
for at least one minute. It is important that the filters are filled
with oil before it is installed. This is to ensure lubrication
immediately after starting.
