Installation Guide
-
Prepare for Removal: Warm up the engine for a few minutes to help the oil drain easily. Place a drain pan under the filter.
-
Locate and Loosen: Identify the old oil filter. Using an oil filter wrench, turn it counter-clockwise to loosen.
-
Remove Old Filter: Once loose, finish unscrewing the filter by hand. Be prepared for some oil spillage.
-
Prepare New Filter: Lightly coat the rubber gasket of the new filter with fresh engine oil. This ensures a good seal.
-
Install New Filter: Screw the new filter on by hand until it makes contact with the engine mounting surface. Then, tighten it another 3/4 to one full turn. Do not overtighten.
-
Refill and Check: Refill the engine with the manufacturer-recommended oil. Start the engine and carefully check for any leaks around the new filter.
