ter counterclockwise and remove it.

ing surface on the engine where the

CAUTION
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter to the specified torque
using an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque specification
14.0 ± 2 N-m
CAUTION
To prevent oil leakage, make sure
that the oil filter is tight, but do not
overtighten it.
Refill with oil and check for leaks.
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the "CAPACITIES" item in the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for
leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at
least 5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait for 5 minutes.
Check the oil level again and add oil if
necessary. Check for leaks again.
CAUTION
When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-
ommended that you use a MARUTI
SUZUKI genuine replacement filter.
CAUTION
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect installa-
tion or gasket damage. If you find any
leaks or are not sure that the filter
has been properly tightened, have
the vehicle inspected by your Maruti
Suzuki authorised workshop.
