Replace oil filter
Replace the oil filter when the oil is changed.
1) Remove the oil filter
a) Because oil remaining in the filter will spill when the filter
is removed, position a tray (oil drain basin) below the filter
when removing it.
b) Use a filter wrench to remove the oil filter (Figure 2).
Take care not to damage the stud bolts that hold the filter
in place when using a screwdriver or other tool to turn the
oil filter during filter removal.
2) Install the new oil filter
a) Apply fresh engine oil thinly and evenly to the O-ring of the new filter (Figure 3).
b) During oil filter installation, turn the filter two, three or more times after the packing is seated in the engine to
tighten it. (See Figure 4.)
c) Use a rag to wipe up spilled oil.
Tightening torque : 14.7 – 20.6N•m

damaged, resulting in oil leaks.
