This procedure is the preferred method for servicing the engine oil
supply system. If there is limited access to the oil pump, change the
fluid in the oil tank and replace the oil filter. The amount of oil
needed when not using the oil pump to scavenge the oil from the
engine is approximately 9.5 Liter (10 US qt).
1. Place a sufficiently sized container, 19 Liter (20 US qt) below
the oil reservoir.
2. Remove the plug from the reservoir bottom and let the oil
drain.

3. Loosen the oil pump mounting bolts and remove the belt.
Using an electric drill, manually turn the oil pump pulley
(clockwise) to discharge any remaining engine oil into the
reservoir to be drained.
4. To replace the spin‑on oil filter: Loosen the filter approximately
¼ turn and wait one minute for the oil to drain into the engine
sump, then remove it.
5. Replace it with a new filter. Be sure to lubricate the seal with
clean engine oil before installing it.
6. Remove the cover of the screen‑style filter and mark the
element so it can be returned to its original orientation with the
correct side up. Clean the element with solvent.
