NOTICE
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, check that the
oil filter is tight, but do not over-
tighten it.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, check
that it is of equi valent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• Oil leakage from the periphery of the oil filter or drain plug indicate
incorrect installation or gasket
damage. If you find any leakage or
are not sure that the filter has been
properly tightened, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer.
