Installation Notes

Always drain and safely dispose of used engine oil before removing the old filter, and ensure the engine is off and cooled before beginning service. Hand-tighten the new filter until the gasket contacts the seating surface, then follow the manufacturer torque guidance for final tightening. Verify there are no leaks after restarting the engine.
