Oil and Filter Change
8. Using a cap-style oil filter wrench, turn the filter
counter-clockwise to remove it.
9. Using a clean dry cloth, clean the filter sealing
surface on the crankcase. Make sure the old filter
o-ring is completely removed.
10. Lubricate the o-ring on the new filter with a film
of fresh engine oil. Check to make sure the o-ring
is in good condition.
11. Install the new filter and turn by hand until the
filter gasket contacts the sealing surface, then
turn and additional 1/2 turn.
12. Always clean away all dirt and debris from the
dipstick area before removing the dipstick.
Remove the dipstick (or the oil fill cap on the top
of the engine) and fill the sump with two quarts (1.9 l) of recommended oil.
13. Reinstall and tighten the dipstick.
14. Make sure the transmission is in PARK. Apply the brakes.
15. Start the engine. Allow it to idle for one to two minutes.
16. Stop the engine. Inspect for leaks.
17. Re-check the oil level on the dipstick and add oil as necessary to bring the level to the
upper mark on the dipstick.
18. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
