OIL FILTER
Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001538846
REMOVAL
1. Remove the engine front undercover using power tool.
2. Remove the oil filter using Tool.
CAUTION:
• The oil filter is provided with a relief valve.Use Genuine NISSAN oil filter or equivalent.
• Be careful not to get burned when the engine and engine
oil are hot.
• When removing, prepare a s hop cloth to absorb any
engine oil leakage or spillage.
• Do not allow engine oil to adhere to the drive belts.
• Completely wipe off any engine oil that adheres to the engine and the vehicle.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove foreign materials adhering to the oil filter installation surface.
2. Apply engine oil to the oil seal circumference of the new oil filter.
3. Screw the oil filter manually until it touches the installation sur-
face, then tighten it by 2/3 turn. Or tighten to specification.
4. Inspect the engine for oil leakage. Follow the "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION" procedure.
5. Install the engine front undercover using power tool.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-8, "Inspection".
2. Start the engine and check for engine oil leakage.
3. Stop the engine and wait for 10 minutes.
4. Check the engine oil level and add engine oil as required. Tool number : KV10115801 (J-38956)
