5.Run the engine warm, then check that there are no leaks around the oil filter seal.

6.Check the oil level in the engine, fill if necessary. The oil filter holds 0.1 qt (0.1 liters) of oil.

*Transaxle (Transmission) Fluid Change

This transaxle is designed with an external filter for ease of maintenance. To ensure constant fluid quality levels and longer life an oil filter change interval of every 200 hours is recommended.

The following procedure can be performed with the transaxles installed in the vehicle, and the vehicle on level ground. Apply the bypass valve for each transaxle and lock the vehicle parking brake.

1.Remove the three 1/4” filter guard screws and filter guard. Clean any loose debris from around the perimeter of the filter. See illustrations.

2.Place an oil drain pan (12” or more diameter and 8 qt. capacity is optimal) beneath the oil filter. Remove the oil filter from the transaxle.

3.After the oil has drained, wipe the filter base surface off and apply a film of new oil to the gasket of the new replacement filter.

4.Install the new filter by hand, turn 3/4 to one full turn after the filter gasket contacts the filter base surface.
