PROPER INSTALLATION OF 75 MM OIL FILTER
MODELS AFFECTED: ALL 1981 THROUGH 1990 MODELS
THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE 1990 MODELS. PLEASE DISCARD BULLETIN 89-6-13A.
To prevent leakage from the 75 mm oil filters such as PF-40, PF-45, PF-47, PF-51, etc., it is very important that the installation instructions listed below
are closely followed.
Remove old filter by turning counter clockwise. Clean gasket sealing area on Engine Oil Filter Mounting Surface. (If engine has an adapter base, make
sure threaded nipple or bolt is properly torqued.)
Lightly oil gasket with clean oil and install filter. After the oil filter gasket contacts the oil filter adapter base, tighten 3/4 to 1 full turn. When necessary,
use a cap-type wrench, AC Delco OF17W or equivalent, or strap type wrench with swivel handle to insure proper installation.
With engine oil at proper level, run engine three minutes and thoroughly check filter area for leaks.
IMPORTANT:
Be certain to follow replacement oil filter usage applications.
