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: 7/8 turn clockwise
- Tightening torque: 22 Nm (2.2 kgf·m)
5. If there are 8 numbers (1 to 8) 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 is visible at the bottom.
- Tighten the filter by turning clockwise 7 numbers 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 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| Number or mark after tightening | 8 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
