2. Check the condition of the threads (A) and rubber seal (B) on the new filter. Wipe the seat on the cylinder block, then apply a thin layer of oil to the rubber filter seal. Install filters only with a built-in bypass system.
3. Screw in the oil filter by hand.
4. After the rubber seal is in place, tighten the oil filter clockwise using the special tool.
- Tightening: ¾ turn clockwise
- Tightening torque: 12 Nm (1.2 kgf·m)
5. If there are 4 numbers or marks (1 to 4 or ▼ to ▼ ▼▼▼) on the outside of the filter, tighten the filter as follows.
- Turn the filter until the rubber seal snaps into place and see what number or mark is visible on the bottom.
- Tighten the filter by turning clockwise 3 numbers or marks from the marked point. For example, if the number 2 is visible when the rubber seal is in place, then the filter should be tightened until the number 1 appears opposite the marked point.
| The number or mark when the rubber seal is in place | 1 or ▼ | 2 or ▼▼ | 3 or ▼▼▼ | 4 or ▼▼▼▼ |
| Number or mark after tightening | 4 or ▼▼▼▼ | 1 or ▼ | 2 or ▼▼ | 3 or ▼▼▼ |
6. After installation, fill the engine with oil to the required level, start the engine and let it run for more than 3 minutes, then check if there is oil leakage.
