Oil Filter Maintenance

 

The oil filter (2) is of the centrifugal type. The principle operation of this type filter is to separate all the impurities and metal chips from the oil by centrifugal force and permit only the purified oil to come in contact with the moving parts of the engine. Clean oil filter in the following manner.

  1. The oil filter is accessible by removing the oil filter cover (1) located on the right crankcase cover.

    NOTE: When the oil filter cover is removed, a small amount of oil will flow out.

  2. Remove the snap ring and disassemble the oil filter cap (3) from the oil filter rotor (4).
  3. Wash the oil filter cap (3) and the oil filter rotor (4) internally in solvent or gasoline and then clean dry with air.

NOTE: When assembling the oil filter cap (3) to the oil filter rotor (4), make sure that the rib on the cap fits in the groove of the rotor and then install the snap ring.
