CHANGE OIL IN ENGINE OIL PAN, REPLACE ENGINE OIL FILTER CARTRIDGE 4
WARNING
Engine parts and oil are at high temperature immediately after the engine is stopped, and will cause seri-
ous burns. Wait for the temperature to cool down before starting the operation.
q Refill oil amount: 11 liters
q Filter wrench
1. Remove the undercover inspection cover directly under
drain valve (P) under the machine, then set a container in
position under it to catch the drained oil.
2. Taking care not to get oil over yourself, open drain valve
(P) and drain the oil.
3. Close drain valve (P).
4. Open the engine hood. Using the filter wrench from the
upper side of the engine, turn filter cartridge (1) counter-
clockwise to remove it.
In particular, if this operation is carried out immediately
after stopping the engine, a large amount of oil will come
out, so wait for 10 minutes before starting the operation.
5. Clean the filter holder, fill the new filter cartridge with clean
engine oil, coat the thread and packing surface of the new
filter cartridge with clean engine oil (or coat it thinly with
grease), then install it to the filter holder.
REMARK
Check that there is no old packing affixed to the filter holder. If
there is any old packing affixed to the filter, it will cause leakage
of oil.
6. When installing, tighten until the packing surface contacts the filter holder, then tighten a further 3/4 turn.
7. After replacing the filter cartridge, add engine oil through oil filler port (F) so that the oil level is between the H
and L marks on dipstick (G).
8. Run the engine at idling for a short time, then stop the engine, and check that the oil level is between the H
and L marks on the dipstick. For details, see “Check Oil Level in Engine Oil Pan, Add Oil (3-59)“.
