Explosion Diagram

Installation Guide

1. Ensure the engine is off and cool to prevent burns. Place an oil drain pan beneath the filter.
2. Use a suitable oil filter wrench to turn the old filter counter-clockwise until it is loose enough to remove by hand.
3. Carefully remove the old filter, keeping it upright to minimize oil spillage.
4. Wipe the engine's filter mounting surface clean with a lint-free cloth, making sure the old gasket is not stuck to the engine.
5. Apply a thin layer of new, clean engine oil to the gasket of the new filter.
6. Gently screw the new filter onto the threaded mount by hand until the gasket makes contact with the engine surface.
7. Tighten the filter an additional three-quarters of a turn. Do not overtighten.
8. Refill the engine with the manufacturer-specified oil to the correct level.
9. Start the engine and let it run for a minute, carefully checking for any leaks around the new filter.
10. Turn the engine off, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, and re-check the oil level, topping off if needed.
11. Properly dispose of the used oil and old filter according to local environmental regulations.
