WARNING
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Be sure to stop the engine before changing the
oil filter.
• Allow engine to cool down sufficiently, oil can
be hot and can burn.
1. Park the vehicle on a flat surface.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the rear skid plate.
4. Remove the oil filter.
5. Put a film of clean engine oil on the rubber seal of
the new filter.
6. Tighten the filter quickly until it contacts the
mounting surface. Tighten the filter by hand an
additional 1/2 turn only.
7. After the new filter has been replaced, the engine
oil normally decreases a little. Make sure that the
engine oil does not leak through the seal and be
sure to check the oil level on the dipstick. Then,
replenish the engine oil up to the prescribed level.
