6. Smear a little engine oil around the
rubber gasket of the new oil filter.
CAUTION
Using an oil filter with the wrong design or
thread specifications can cause oil leaks or
engine damage.
Use a genuine SUZUKI oil filter or an equiv-
alent designed for your motorcycle.
7. Screw the new filter by hand until
the filter gasket contacts the mount-
ing surface (a small resistance will
be felt).
NOTE: To tighten the oil filter properly,
it is important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket first
contacts the mounting surface.
