Question

Accepted Answer

The replacement of the oil filter requires care because skin dryness dermatitis and irritation from mineral oil exposure persists while used engine oil bears detrimental contaminants. Use protective gear combined with gloves while cleaning your skin with soap and water or a water-less hand cleaner to remove used engine oil particles - steer clear from gasoline as well as thinners or solvents. You should discard used oil as well as oil filters at specific authorized disposal locations. Begin the task by first removing the engine under cover from the right-hand side before draining engine oil by taking out the oil pan drain plug. Special Service Tool: 09228-06501 should be used to extract the oil filter sub-assembly. You should install new oil filters by cleaning their surface, adding oil to the filter gasket, placing it gently before tightening until the gasket makes contact with the seat. Proceed to install the special service tool: 09228-06501 to complete another 3/4 turn of the installation. The oil pan drain plug needs installation with its new gasket and torquing to 37 Nm of torque. Engineering specifications require the addition of 1.4 liters (4.7 US qts, 3.9 Imp. qts) when changing the oil filter and performing oil drain and refilling and 4.2 liters (4.4 US qts, 3.7 Imp. qts) when changing oil without replacing the filter while 4.8 liters (5.1 US qts, 4.2 Imp. qts) should be used for dry filling. Conduct a final examination for oil leakage.
