Inspect the filter. At the first oil change, small metal
chips and lint may be found. This is normal, resulting
from the break-in period. Inspect the filter at every oil
change. The presence of large metal chips could indi-
cate possible damage to the engine.
Wear eye protection to prevent splashed sol-
vent from contacting the eyes when cleaning
oil filter.
Clean the filter by washing in any shop degreaser and
brushing the metal screen clean with a soft brush (Ref.

Wipe the area around the filter mount with a lint free
cloth and inspect both filter 'O' rings for damage; replace
if necessary. Install the filter into the engine. The filter
engages over a short nipple in the engine. The filter
should slide easily onto the nipple and seat against the
engine using light hand pressure only. Align the holes in
the filter mounting plate with the holes in the engine.
Install and snug the bolts before tightening them firmly.
Oil capacity is 1 1/2 quarts (1.4 liters). Add slightly less
than 1 1/2 quarts (1.4 liters) to allow for possible residual
oil left in engine. The oil must be high quality oil that
meets or exceeds API SF, SG, CC standards (Ref. Fig. 8
on Page G-3). Check oil level on dipstick. Oil should be
slightly below 'F' to allow for expansion. If necessary,
continue to add oil slowly and allow time for oil to flow
down into engine. Check oil level on dipstick. Do not
overfill.
Do not overfill engine. Too much oil may cause smoking
or allow oil to enter the air filter enclosure.
Inspect oil fill cap 'O' ring and replace if necessary.
Install the oil fill cap. Run the vehicle for one or two min-
utes and check the filter for oil leaks.
