Oil Filter Replacement
OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT
Remove the old filter by turning counterclockwise. Clean the gasket sealing area on the engine oil filter mounting surface. If the engine has an adapter base, make sure threaded nipple or bolt is properly tightened. Lightly oil gasket with clean oil and install filter. After the oil filter gasket contacts the oil filter mounting surface, tighten 3/4 to 1 full turn. When necessary, use a cap type wrench, or strap type wrench with swivel handle to insure proper installation. With engine oil level at proper level, run engine three minutes and thoroughly check filter area for leaks.
