Failure to follow this recommended procedure will
cause the waste particles to be recirculated through
the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
Drain the Engine Lubricating Oil
Operate the engine so that the lubricating oil is warm,
then stop the engine. Isolate the electrical power to
the stater.

Typical example
1. Place a suitable container below the engine oil
pan. Remove the drain plug (6). Allow the engine
oil to drain.
Note: Ensure that the vessel that will be used is large
enough to collect the waste oil.
2. Remove the sealing washer from the drain plug
(6). Discard the sealing washer.
3. Install a new sealing washer to the drain plug (3).
Install the drain plug to the engine oil pan. Tighten
the plug to a torque of 68 N·m (50 lb ft).
Replace the Oil Filter

Note: Ensure that all 3 oil filters are changed as a
set.
1. Use Tooling (A) to remove the oil filters (4)
2. Ensure the sealing face of the filter base (1) is
clean and free from dirt.
3. Lubricate the sealing rings (5) with clean engine
oil. Install the new oil filter (4).
Note: Apply hand pressure only to tighten the oil
filters.
4. Spin on the oil filter until the O ring seal contacts
the sealing surface (1). Then rotate the oil filter ¾
of a full turn. After all the oil filters have been
replaced, fill the oil pan.
Fill the Oil Pan
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid
Recommendations" for information on suitable oils.
1. Remove the oil filler cap (2).

2. Fill the oil pan with the correct amount of new
engine lubricating oil and install the filler cap.
Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Refill Capacities" for more information. Restore
electrical power to the starter.
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a re-
mote filter system, follow the OEM or the filter manu-
factures recommendations. Under filling or over filling
the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.
Note: Before starting the engine, crank the engine on
the starter to obtain oil pressure.
3. Start the engine and run the engine for 2 minutes.
Perform this procedure to ensure that the
lubrication system has oil and that the oil filters are
filled. Inspect the oil filters for oil leaks.
4. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to
the oil pan for a minimum of 10 minutes.
