- If not, residual oil will come out of the oil filter housing and cap and it may be mistaken as an oil leak.
- If the above instruction is not complied with, the oil remaining on the oil filter cap thread and the inside of housing may seep out from the oil filter cap and the housing mounting surface.
- Replace the drain bolt (B) with a new one and then tighten it to the specified torque and then install the fixing pin (A).
Tightening torque:
4.0 - 5.0 N.m (0.4 - 0.5 kgf.m, 2.9 - 3.6 lb-ft)
- Remove the fixing pin (A) at the bottom of the oil filter cap and loosen the drain bolt (B) to drain the oil inside the filter.
- Fill engine oil.
- Install the oil drain plug (A) together with the new gasket.
Tightening torque:
34.3 - 44.1 N.m (3.5 - 4.5 kgf.m, 25.3 - 32.5 lb-ft)
- Fill new engine oil through the oil inlet.
Before filling engine oil, remove the oil level gauge.
