Engine oil filter service

Clogged or restricted oil filter can cause serious engine damage. Oil filter
servicing is related to the quality of oil used, and the severity of service. It is
recommended that the filter be checked and serviced at intervals, or oftener
if necessary, indicated immediately below.
(Cleaning)
1. Drain oil from the engine (see page 26).
2. Remove the oil filter from the engine by removing the two 6 mm bolts.
3. Wash the filter in nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow the filter
to dry thoroughly.
4. Reinstall the filter and filter cover and screw with the two 6 mm bolts.
5. Tighten the bolts securely.
6. Fill the crankcase to the proper level with the recommended oil.
NOTE:
• Take care not to damage the filter mesh when servicing the filter.
• Replace the filter with a new one if there are holes or tears in the filter
mesh.
