8. Insert the filter element and cap assembly into the housing. Torque the cap to
40 to 50 N·m (30 to 37 lb·ft).

a. Place a suitable receptacle, 55 L (58 qt) or more, beneath the oil drain
plug on the underside of the oil pan.
b. Carefully unscrew the oil drain plug, and allow the oil to drain out.

10. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new O-ring and torque the plug:
a. On a plastic oil pan, torque plug to 45 N·m +/- 7 N·m (33 lb·ft +/- 5
lb·ft).
b. On an aluminum oil pan, torque plug to 60 N·m +/- 9 N·m (44 lb·ft +/-
6 lb·ft ).
NOTICE:
Do not add oil if the oil reading is between the crosshatch area on
the dipstick. There are approximately 5.0 L (5.2 qt) from the fill mark to the
full mark. Overfilling the oil pan can cause engine damage.
11. Add new engine oil through the oil fill tube in the following amount; Refer to
section "Engine Oil Capacities". Verify the oil level reading is between the
full and fill marks on the dipstick.
WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the
vehicle is parked on a level surface, parking brake is set, and the
wheels are blocked.
WARNING: ENGINE EXHAUST
To avoid injury from inhaling engine exhaust, always operate the
engine in a well-ventilated area. Engine exhaust is toxic.
NOTICE:
If no oil pressure is shown after approximately 10 seconds, stop
the engine and determine the cause. Running the engine with no oil
pressure could result in engine damage.
12. Start the engine with the accelerator pedal in the idle position (600 rpm).
Monitor the oil pressure gauge or indicator lamp. Keep the engine running at
idling speed (600 rpm) until the oil pressure reading is 10.2 psi (70 kPa) or
more for the DD15.
