How to renew the canister of the lubricating oil filter
Warning! Discard the used canister and lubricating oil in a safe place and in accordance with local
regulations.
1. Clean thoroughly the outside surfaces of the oil filter.
2. Use a strap wrench or similar tool to just loosen the filter canister. Put a plastic bag (A2) over the filter
canister; the bag should fit loosely over the filter to retain spilt oil. Remove and discard safely the canister
and the plastic bag that will contain the spilt oil.
3. Lubricate the seal (A1) on top of the canister with clean engine lubricating oil.
4. Fit the new canister and tighten by hand until the seal contacts the cylinder block. Tighten the canister a
further 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn by hand only. Do not use a strap wrench.
5. Ensure that there is lubricating oil in the sump. Start the engine and run at idle speed until oil pressure is
obtained. Check for leakage from the filter. Stop the engine. After 15 minutes check the oil level on the
dipstick and, if necessary, put more lubricating oil into the sump.
Cautions:
• Do not fill the sump past the notch (B2 page 24) on the dipstick.
• The canister contains a valve and special tube to ensure that lubricating oil does not drain from the filter.
Therefore, ensure that the correct Perkins POWERPART canister is used.
