1.Remove the oil filler cap while draining the oil to allow the engine to drain easily.

2.Remove the drain plug to drain the oil.

3.After oil is sufficiently drained, securely tighten the drain plug.

4.Using a filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise to remove.

5.Clean sealing surface on engine where filter mounts.

6.Coat the seal of the new oil filter with clean engine oil. Install new filter first by hand until it contacts the engine sealing surface. Tighten it another 3/4 turn using the filter wrench.

7.Fill engine with oil until it shows between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. Do Not overfill.

8.Run the engine briefly for several minutes. Watch for oil leakage. Shut the engine down and allow it to sit for several minutes. Top off the oil to the upper limit on the dipstick.

Fuel Filter

1.Replace the engine fuel filter element (Figure 26) every 500 hours.
