Simple inspection and service
CAUTION
•
Oil filter element must not be cleaned and
reused.
•
Replace the oil filter element once every two
engine oil changes.
•
When the warning lamp lights up, the oil
filter element is clogged. Replace the ele-
ment immediately regardless of the sched-
uled replacement intervals. If the buzzer
sounds simultaneously, engine oil pressure
is excessively low.
Replace the oil filter element as follows:
1. Place a suitably sized pan under the oil filter,
and loosen drain plug to let the oil in the filter
flow out.
2. Turn filter element assembly in the direction
of the arrow to remove it. If the assembly is hard
to turn, use a filter wrench (available from an
authorized dealer).
3. Replace the filter element assembly with a new
one. The replacement part should be a genuine
part.
4. Install the filter element assembly using this pro -
cedure:
Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the gasket sur-
face of the filter element assembly. Turn the
assembly clockwise by hand until the gasket
contacts the sealing surface of the filter head .
From this point, give the filter element assembly
an additional 1-1/8 to 1-3/8 clockwise turns
using the mark on it as a reference.
5. When only the filter element is replaced without
replacing engine oil, add approx. 2.3 liters (2.4
qts) of engine oil through the oil filler.
6. Crank the engine. P. 5-8
7. Start the engine and check for oil leaks.
8. Stop the engine and, after letting it cool down for
30 minutes or more, check the oil level.
