Oil Filter: Service and Repair

CAUTION: When servicing the oil filter avoid deforming the filter can by installing the remove/install tool band strap against the can-to-base lockseam. The lockseam joining the can to the base is reinforced by the base plate.

1. Turn counter clockwise to remove.
2. To install, lubricate new filter gasket. Screw filter on until gasket contacts base. Tighten to 14 Nm (10 ft.lbs.).
