ENGINE OIL FILTER

SELECTING OIL FILTER
Chrysler Corporation recommends a Mopar or
equivalent oil filter be used when replacement is re-
quired. A replacement filter must be designed to with-
stand 1756 kPa (256 psi) of internal pressure.
OIL FILTER REMOVAL
(1) Position a drain pan under the oil filter.
(2) Using a suitable oil filter wrench (Fig. 3) loosen
filter.
(3) When filter separates from adapter nipple, tip
gasket end upward to minimize oil spill. Remove filter
from vehicle.
(4) With a wiping cloth, clean the gasket sealing
surface (Fig. 4) of oil and grime. Wipe off oil residue
from below oil filter adapter.
OIL FILTER INSTALLATION:
(1) Lightly lubricate oil filter gasket with engine oil
or chassis grease.
(2) Thread filter onto adapter nipple. When gasket
makes contact with sealing surface, tighten filter one
full turn. If necessary use a filter wrench, do not over
tighten.
(3) Add oil, verify crankcase oil level and start en-
gine. Inspect for oil leaks.
