12. Place shop towels beneath the oil
filter. Using an oil filter wrench,
turn the filter counter-clockwise
to remove it.

filter is completely removed from
the engine. Using a clean dry
cloth, clean the filter sealing sur-
face on the crankcase.
14. Lubricate the o-ring on the new filter with a film of fresh engine oil.
Check to make sure the o-ring is in good condition.

gasket contacts the sealing surface, then turn it an additional 1/2
turn.
16. Approximately one cup of engine oil will remain in the crankcase.
To drain, remove the drain plug on the lower right side of the crank-
case.

crankcase should be clean and free of burrs, nicks or scratches.
