empty the sump. Note: Remember to refit the blanking plug afterwards.

from the oil filter. Using the strap type oil filter removal tool supplied with the engine,
slacken the filter from the engine block in an anti-clockwise direction. Remove the tool
and spin off the filter.

clockwise direction and finally tighten by hand only as firmly as you can.
• Refill the sump using the orange oil filler cap in the rocker cover on top of the engine.
• Oil level should be to the top mark on the dipstick.
• Run the engine for 5 minutes before checking the oil level with the dipstick and top up
if required.
• Do not exceed the maximum oil level marker as this may cause damage to the internal
components of the engine.
