Simple inspection and service
1. Tilt the cab. P. 12-5
With a Crew-cab model, uncover the engine
inspection opening. P. 12-4
2. Clean the filter and the surrounding area to pre-
vent dirt from entering the new element.
3. Place a container under the oil filter. Remove
the drain plug from the bottom of the oil filter,
and allow the oil in the filter to drain out.
4. Turn filter element assembly in the direction
of the arrow (see figure) to remove it. If the
assembly is hard to turn, use a filter wrench
(available from an authorized dealer).
5. Check the surface of the filter head that will
make contact with the new element for dirt and
contamination. If necessary, clean it.
6. Replace the filter element assembly with a new
one. The replacement part should be a genuine
part.
7. Install the filter element assembly using this pro-
cedure:
Apply a thin coat of engine oil to gasket on
the mounting surface of the filter element
assembly. Turn the assembly in the direction of
the arrow until the gasket touches the sealing
surface of the filter head.
From this point, additionally tighten the filter ele-
ment assembly by three-fourths of a turn.
The element assembly has four equally spaced
marks around its outside.
Tighten the assembly with reference to these
marks.
8. Refill with engine oil.
If the filter element assembly is replaced but the
engine oil is not replaced, add the amount of oil
shown below via the oil filler.
WARNING
•
Spilt engine oil should be wiped off clean.
Oil remaining on the engine surface could
catch fire.
•
Do not replace the oil filter immediately
after operating the vehicle since the
engine, transmission, exhaust pipe,
engine oil, and other items will be
extremely hot. If you try to replace the oil
filter immediately after driving the vehicle,
you may be scalded. Give the engine time
to cool before starting the job.
Amount of engine oil to
be added
Approx. 1 liter (1.1 qts)
