Oil Bypass Filter

Removal

  1. Place a drip pan under the oil filter. Unscrew the oil filter from the cylinder block (6010) using Oil Filter Wrench D79L-6731-A or equivalent.

Installation

  1. Coat the gasket on the oil filter with oil. Place the oil filter in position on the cylinder block. Hand-tighten the oil filter until the gasket contacts the adapter face, then advance it one-half turn.

  1. Operate the engine (6007) at fast idle and check for oil leaks. If oil leaks are evident, perform the necessary repairs to correct the leakage. Check the oil level and fill the crankcase if necessary.
