Engine Oil Filter
LUBRICATION
8. Engine Oil Filter
A: REMOVAL
1) Lift-up the vehicle.
2) Drain the engine oil.
3) Remove the service hole cover clip.
4) Rotate the service hole cover in the direction of
the arrow.
5) Remove the oil filter using ST.
ST 4985447000 OIL FILTER WRENCH
B: INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
Do not tighten excessively, or oil may leak.
1) Clean the oil filter installing surface of oil cooler.
2) Obtain a new oil filter and apply a thin coat of en-
gine oil to the seal rubber.
3) Install the oil filter turning it by hand, being care-
ful not to damage the seal rubber.
4) Tighten more (approx. 3/4 turn) after the seal
rubber contacts the oil cooler. When using a torque
wrench, tighten to 14 N·m (1.4 kgf-m, 10.3 ft-lb).
5) Install the service hole cover.
6) Lower the vehicle.
7) Refill the engine oil.
C: INSPECTION
1) After installing the oil filter, run the engine and
make sure that no oil is leaking around seal rubber.
NOTE:
The filter element and filter case are permanently
jointed; therefore, interior cleaning is not neces-
sary.
2) Check the engine oil level.
