6. Install a new oil filter in accordance with the instructions on the cartonor on the filter itself. Do not over- tighten (Tightening torque: Gaso-
line- 1.2 ~ 1.6 kgf.m, Diesel - 2.3 ~ 2.5 kgf.m) . Be sure that the
mounting surface on the engine is clean and that the old gasket is removed completely. Lubricate the new gasket on the filter with cleanengine oil before installation.
7. Remove the engine oil level dip- stick.
8. Refill the crankcase with the rec- ommended engine oil slowly. Referto the specification in chapter 9 for engine oil capacity.
! CAUTION:
Slowly pour the recommended oil by using a funnel. Do not overfill not to damage the engine. 9. Start the engine and check to be
sure no oil is leaking from thedrain plug or oil filter.
10.Shut off the engine and recheck
the oil level.
