Oil Filter

Replacement

Be careful when loosening the oil filter

while the engine is hot. Burns can result because the oil

temperature is very high.

1. Remove the oil filter with the special oil filter wrench.

2. Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new fil-

ter. Wipe off the seat on the engine block, then

apply a light coat of oil to the filter rubber seal.

NOTE: Use only filters with a built-in bypass system.ProCarManuals.com
