The drive chain play must be set once the oil pump has been

- Oil filter
The oil filter is located beneath the engine by the oil sump.
The support for the oil filter element is integrated in the rear oil
pump cover.
The oil filter cover is screwed to the rear oil pump cover through
an opening in the oil sump. An oil drain plug is integrated in the
oil filter cover for emptying the filter element before the cover is
unscrewed.
The filter element support dome contains a bursting pressure
valve. If the filter element is blocked, this valve guides the unfil-
tered engine oil around the filter element to the engine's lubri-
cation points.
