5. Wipe the engine oil filter sealing surface with a clean rag.

● Be sure to remove any old gasket material remaining on the sealing surface of the engine. Failure to do so could lead to an oil leak and engine damage.

8. Start the engine and check for leakage around the oil filter. Correct as required.
