while the engine i~ still warm. Drain the used oil completely,
replace the hose in its bracket, and replace the end cap
securely.

NOTE:
During this procedure, fuel
and
oil
may
spill from the
engine, have a suitable tray under the engine.
2. Replacing the Oil Filter. When removing the used oil
filter, you may find it helpful and cleaner to punch a hole
in the upper and lower portion of the old filter to drain the
oil from it into a container before removing it. Thls helps
to lessen spillage. A small style automotive filter wrench
should be helpful in removing the old oil filter.
NOTE:
Do not punch this hole without first loosening the
filter to make certain it can be removed!
Place some paper towels and a plastic bag around the
filter when unscrewing it to catch any oil left in the filter.
(Oil or any other fluid on the engine reduces the engine's
cooling ability. Please keep your engine clean.) Inspect the
old oil filter as it is removed to make sure that the rubber
sealing gasket came off with the old oil filter. If this
rubber sealing gasket remains sealed against the engine
block, gently remove it. .

SEALING GASKET
, COAT WITH CLEAN OIL
WHEN INSTALLING '
When installing the new oil filter element, wipe the filter
gasket's sealing surface on the engine block free of oil and
apply a
thin
coat of clean engine oil to the rubber gasket
on the new oil filter. Screw the filter onto the threaded oil
filter nipple, and then tighten the filter firmly by hand.
NOTE:
Generic filters are not recommended, as the
, material standards dr diameters of important items on
generic parts might be entirely different from genuine
parts. Immediately after an oil filter change and oil fill,
rWl the engine to
make
sure the oil pressure is normal and
that there are no oil leaks around the new oil filter.
3. Filling the Oil Sump. Add new oil through the oil filler
cap on the top of the engine or through the side oil fill..
After refilling, run the engine for a few moments while
checking the oil pressure. Make sure there is no leakage
around the new oil filter or from the oil drain system, and
stop the engine. Then check the quantity of oil with the
lube oil dipstick. Fill to, but not over the high mark on
the dipstick, should the engine require additional oil.
