Accepted Answer

The first step to replace the oil filter requires protective precaution against skin exposure to used engine oil that might cause dry skin and inflammation or potentially dangerous consequences such as skin cancer; wear protective gloves and clothing then thoroughly clean your skin after work. Start by emptying engine oil through the following order: remove the oil filler cap while taking out the oil pan drain plug until the oil drains completely and install a new gasket before screwing in the drain plug to 38 Nm (382 kgf-cm, 28 ft. lbs. torque). Start by removing the oil filter sub-assembly through the utilization of Special Service Tool: 09228-07501. Engine installation requires contact surface cleaning from the engine side followed by applying engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter. Hand-installation should continue until the ring meets its seat. The Special Service Tool: 09228-07501 should be used totighten the filter to a reference torque of 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.) using by 3/4 turn. The next step requires adding fresh oil to the proper amount and verifying there is no oil leakage. Thoroughly dispose of all used oil and filters at environmental protection facilities which handle proper disposal.
