Changing Bypass Oil Filter
1 Clean the area around the oil filters.
2 Place an oil-receiving tray under the bypass oil
filter.
3 Using the provided filter wrench, remove each
bypass oil filter.
Note: Check the filter elements in the removed oil
filter for metal particles. If metal particles are
found, consult a Mitsubishi dealer.
4 Wipe oil from the oil filter mounting surface on
the filter bracket with a cloth.
5 Check the new bypass oil filter for proper seat-
ing of the packing.
6 Apply clean engine oil to the packing.
7 Install the bypass oil filter to the filter bracket.
When the packing contacts the mounting sur-
face on the filter bracket, further rotate 3/4 to a
full turn.
Do not use the filter wrench for the installation of fil-
ters to prevent filters from deformation.
