After the engine has been run, the exhaust pipe willbe hot; be careful when working around ihe exhaustpipe.
Be careful when loosening the drain bolt whils theengine is hot. Burns can resuh because the oil tem-peratu16 is very high.
Remove the oil filter with the oil filter wrencn.
Inspect the threads and rubber seal on the new filter.Wipe off the seat on the engine block, then apply alight coat of oil to the new filter,s rubber seal.
NOTE: Use onty fitters with a built-in bypass sys,tem.
Apply oil to rubber sealbefore installing.
