NOTE:  When servicing oil filter avoid deforming the filter can by installing the remove/install tool band strap against the can base lockseam. The
lockseam joining the can to the base is reinforced by the base plate.

1. Using Tool C-4065 or equivalent, unscrew filter from base and discard.
2. Wipe base clean, then inspect gasket contact surface.
3. Lubricate gasket of new filter with clean engine oil.
4. Install and tighten filter to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) torque after gasket contacts base. Use filter wrench if necessary.
5. Start engine and check for leaks.
