12. Install new filter to specification.
Oil Filter:
Turn by hand until filter O-ring contacts sealing
surface, then turn an additional 1/2 turn
13. Remove the engine oil dipstick (see "Engine Oil
Level").
14. Fill the sump with 2 qts. (1.9 L) of PS-4 Synthetic
Engine Oil (2876244).
15. Verify the transmission is still positioned in PARK (P).
16. Start the engine and let it idle for one to two minutes.
17. Stop the engine and inspect for leaks.
18. Re-check the oil level on the dipstick and add oil as
necessary to bring the level to the upper mark on the
dipstick.
19. Dispose of used oil and oil filter properly.

Engine Breather Hose Inspection

The engine is equipped with a breather hose. Inspect the
breather hose for possible kinks or wear. The hose is
formed for a proper fit. Follow the breather hose from the
side of the airbox to the engine valve cover.
NOTE: Make sure line is not kinked or pinched.

Engine and Transmission Mounts

Periodically inspect engine and transmission mounts for
cracks or damage.
Refer to Chapter 3 "Engine Assembly and Installation" for
mounting fastener torque values.

Compression and Leakdown Test

NOTE: This engine does NOT have decompression
components. Compression readings will vary in
proportion to cranking speed during the test.
A smooth idle generally indicates good compression.
Low engine compression is rarely a factor in running
condition problems above idle speed.
A cylinder leakdown test is the best indication of engine
condition. Follow manufacturer's instructions to perform
a cylinder leakage test (never use high pressure leakage
testers, as crankshaft seals may dislodge and leak).

Exhaust - Spark Arrestor

engine has been run, as the exhaust system becomes
very hot. Serious burns could result from contact with
the exhaust components. Allow components to cool

Periodically clean spark arrestor to remove accumulated
carbon (see "Periodic Maintenance Chart").
1. Remove the retaining screw, nut and spark arrestor
2. Use a non-synthetic brush to clean the arrestor
3. Inspect the screen for wear and damage. Replace if
