be hot and may cause burns.

bottom of the engine and drain the oil completely. The
used oil can be drained out more easily if the engine is
warm.

compressed air from the inside, turning the
element. Pressure of compressed air must be

(2) When carbon or oil adheres to the element, soak
the element in detergent for 15 minutes then wash
it several times in water, rinse with clean water
and dry it naturally. After element is fully dried,
inspect inside of the element with a light and
check if it is damaged or not.
