Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Place a drain pan under the engine. Wipe the top of the engine
clean with a cloth (Ref. Fig. 21 on page 15). Remove the oil fill cap.
Clean the area around the filter. Oil drainage is
accomplished by removing the three bolts securing the oil
filter to the engine. Remove the filter by pulling it from the
engine and allow the oil to drain. The ‘O’ rings may remain
on the engine or the filter (Ref. Fig. 22 on page 15).
At each oil change, thoroughly inspect filter before cleaning.
At the first oil change, metal chips and lint may be found.
This is normal, resulting from engine run-in. At subsequent
oil changes, the presence of metal chips may indicate
possible engine damage.
Wear eye protection to reduce the possibility
of splashed solvent contacting the eyes when
cleaning oil filter.
Clean the filter by washing in any shop
degreaser and brushing the metal screen clean with a soft
brush (Ref. Fig. 23 on page 15).
Blow out the filter with low pressure air 30 psi (210 kPa) or
less from no closer than 3" (8 cm) and allow to air dry (Ref.
Fig. 24 on page 15).
Wipe the area around the filter mount with a clean, lint free
cloth and inspect both filter ‘O’ rings for damage; replace if
necessary. Install the filter into the engine. The filter
engages over a short nipple in the engine. The filter should
slide easily onto the nipple and seat against the engine
using light hand pressure only. Align the holes in the filter
mounting plate with the holes in the engine. Install and hand
tighten the bolts before tightening them firmly.
