Always

ooserve

the

used

oil

as

it

is

removed.

A

yellow/gray

emulsion

indicates

the

presence of

water

in

the

oil.

Although

this

condition

is

rare,

it

does

require

prompt

attention

to

prevent seriousdarnage.

Call

a

qualified

mechanic should

water

be

present

in

the

oil.

Raw

water

present in

the

oil

can

be

the result of a

fault

in

the

exhaust

system attached

to

the

engine

and/or

a

siphoning

of

raw

water

through

the

raw

water

cooling

circuit

into

the

exhaus~

filling

the

engine.

This

problem

is

often

caused

by

the

absence

of

an

anti-siphon

valve,

its

poor

location

or lack of

maintenance.

2.

Replacing

the ailfilter.

When

removing

the

used

oil

filter,

you

may·

find

it

helpful

and

cleaner

to

punch

a

hole

in

the

upper and lower

portion

of

the

old

filter

to

drain

the

oil

from

it

into a container before

removing

it.

This

helps

to

lessen

spillage. A

small

automotive

filter

wrench

should

be

helpful

in

removing

the

old

oil

filter.

NOTE:

Do

not

punch

this

hole

without

first

loosening

the

filter

to

make

certain

it

can

be

removed.

Place

some

paper towels

and

a plastic

bag

around

the

filter

when

unscrewing

it

to

catch

any

oil

left

in

the

filter.

(Oil

or

any

other

fluid

on

the

engine

reduces

the

engine's

cooling

ability.

Keep

your

engine clean.) Inspect

the

old

oil

filter

as

it

is

removed

to

make

sure

that

the

rubber

sealing

gasket comes off

with

the

old

filter.

If

this

rubber

sealing

gasket remains

sealed

against

the

filter

bracket,

gently

remove

it.

When

installing the

new

oil

filter

elemen~

wipe

the

filter

gasket's sealing surface

on

the bracket

free

of

oil

and

apply

a thin coat of

clean

engine

oil

to

the

rubber gasket

on

the

new

oil

filter.

Screw

the

filter

onto

the

threaded

oil

filter

nipple

on

the

oil

filter

bracket,

and

tighten

the

filter

firmly

by

hand.

NOTE:

Generic

filters

are

not

recommended,

as

the

material standords or

diameters

of

important items

on

generic

parts might

be

entirely

different

from

genuine

parts.

Immediately

after

an

oil filter

change

and

oil

fill,

run

the

engine

to

make

sure

the

oil

pressure

is

normal

and

that

there

are

no

oil

leaks

around

the

new

oil

filter.

3.

Filling the

Oil

Sump.

Add

new

oil

through the

oil

filler

cap

on

the

top

of the

engine.

After

refilling, run

the

engine

for

a

few

moments while checking the

oil

pressure.

Make

sure there is

no

leakage

around

the

new

oil

filter

or

from

the oil drain

system,

and

stop

the

engine.

Then check

the

quantity of oil

with

the

lube

oil

dipstick.

Fill

to,

but

not

over the high

mark

on

the

dipstick, should

the engine

require

additional

oil.
