4. Replacing the Compressor Oil Filter
Follow all safety precautions.
Clean debris and dust from the area around the air/oil separator tank and the filter to prevent contamination.
Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise using a suitable filter wrench.
Check the filter to make sure that the threaded nipple did not unscrew with the filter. If it is in the filter,
remove it carefully to avoid thread damage, coat the threads that go into Separator Tank Base with a small
amount of Loctite blue and install it into the tank base.

Check the gasket-sealing surface of the air/oil separator tank for contamination, old gasket material or damage.
Make sure the new filter is a VMAC filter, part number 9200039. This oil filter is a high pressure oil filter, not
an automotive oil filter, which will rupture under high pressure.
Apply a thin coating of compressor oil to the filter sealing gasket.
Spin the filter onto the threaded nipple until the gasket contacts the sealing surface of the air/oil separator tank.
Tighten the filter an additional 3/4 to 1 turn to seat the sealing gasket.
Never over-tighten the filter, as this may damage the seal or filter.
Follow the oil level checking procedure in
Section 1
