(a) Poke a hole in the top of the oil filter (2) with an awl.
(b) Remove the safety wire (1) and the filter (2).
(c) Drain the oil (Refer to 12-20).

oil leakage). Use a plastic bag (2' X 2') that has a drawstring. Break the initial
torque loose on the filter. Put the plastic bag over the filter and pull the
drawstrings tight around the oil filter adapter flange and unscrew the filter inside
the plastic bag. NO MESS!

(4) INSTALLATION

(a) Lubricate the oil filter base gasket with D–C 4 (Refer to 12-20). If unavailable,
use clean engine oil. Do not use dirty engine oil to lubricate the filter base
gasket. Dirty engine oil will make the oil filter difficult to remove later on.
(b) Install the spin-on oil filter (2) and torque to 192-216 in/lbs.
(c) Safety (1) the filter in same sense as you would turn the filter to tighten it with
0.032 safety wire (Figure 79-00-4).
(d) Service the engine with oil (Refer to 12-20).
Do not tighten the spin-on filter beyond the specified maximum torque. Over tightening
will make the filter extremely difficult to remove. Always use a 6 point, 1 inch socket
