seated. _
7. Install the new oil filter cartridge,
and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.

CAUTION:_
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives with
the oil or use oils of grade “CD”
or higher. In addition, do not
use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor engine performance.
