Protect the environment
It is illegal to pollute drains, water
courses and soil. Use authorized
waste
collection
facilities,
including civic amenity sites and
garages providing facilities for
disposal of used oil and used oil
filters. If in doubt, contact your
local authority for advice on
disposal.
The regulations concerning the
pollution of the environment will
vary from country to country.
CHANGING OIL FILTER
A used oil filter should be
disposed of at a rubbish tip having
proper facilities. We recommend
having your oil filter changed by a
ParsKhodro dealer.
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Loosen the oil filter with an oil
filter wrench. Remove the oil
filter by turning it by hand.
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself,
as the engine oil may be hot.
3. Wipe the engine oil filter
mounting surface with a clean
rag.
Be sure to remove any old rubber
gasket remaining on the mounting
surface of the engine.
4. Coat the rubber gasket on the
new filter with engine oil.
5. Screw in the oil filter until a
slight resistance is felt, then
tighten an additional 2/3 turn.
6. Start the engine and check
for leakage around the oil
filter. Correct as required.
7. Turn the engine off and wait
several minutes. Check the
oil level. Add engine oil if
necessary.
