10. Clean the filter housing and cover with a clean
shop towel to remove any accumulated
sediment/debris. When you are cleaning, avoid
displacing the contaminants into the areas
noted in the photo. Also, be sure to clean the
cover (O-ring) mating surfaces. Do not use any
type of tool (e.g., screw driver, putty knife) to
clean the O-ring mating surfaces; damage will
result in oil leakage.
11. Clean the filter (screen type only) using
compressed air and clean the filter housing
cavity with a clean shop towel.
If the filter is the paper type, replace it with a
new one.
Protect your eyes. Wear safety glasses when
working with compressed air.
12. For screen type filters, inspect the filter seals
and the filter for tears, cracks, and other
damage. Replace new if damaged. Use some
O-ring grease to “stick” the filter seals so that
they are centered on the filter. This will help
assure that the seals remain in place when you
insert the filter into the housing. This step is
unnecessary with paper type filters as the seals
are glued in place.
13. Insert the filter into the housing.
14. Apply a light coat of O-ring grease to the large
and small cover O-rings and insert them back
into the cover. Install the cover and cover bolt.
Tighten the bolt to the specified torque.
TO R Q U E :
E ngine oil filter cover bolt
3.3 lbf•ft (4.5 N• m)
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten the cover bolt. You will
damage the threads of the filter housing. If the
cover leaks, you may need to replace the
cover O-rings or inspect the cover and
housing mating surfaces for damage.
15. At the rear of the crankcase on the left side of
the engine, slide the heat shield back to expose
the left spar return hose and clamp. Then,
remove the clamp and hose from the engine oil
inlet fitting. Catch any residual oil within the
spar with a clean shop towel.
