Engine oil filter service
Clogged or restricted oil filter can cause serious engine damage. Oil filter
servicing is related to the quality of oil used, and the severity of service. It is

if necessary, indicated immediately below.
(Cleaning)
1. Drain oil from the engine (see page 26).
2. Remove the oil filter from the engine by removing the two 6 mm bolts.
3. Wash the filter in nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow the filter
to dry thoroughly.
4. Reinstall the filter and filter cover and screw with the two 6 mm bolts.
5. Tighten the bolts securely.
6. Fill the crankcase to the proper level with the recommended oil.

mesh.
