Note:  Be sure to remove the O-ring (2) (for the cap) by hand, without using any tools, to prevent damage to the groove for the O-ring on the cap.

6. Remove oil filter element (1) and O-ring (2) from the oil filter cap.

grooves in the oil filter bracket and temporarily tighten the cap.

Note:  After tightening the oil filter cap assembly, check for gaps between the installation surfaces. Do not remove the oil filter bracket clip when
