Before you start
- The oil is hot and under pressure when the drain plug is opened - risk of burns and scalds.
- Used oil filters are classed as dangerous waste.
Procedure
- Allow the filter content to run off along the drain plug
- After releasing the clamping bolts remove the filter bowls
- Renew the filter cartridges and thoroughly clean all other parts in cleaning fluid
- Use new gaskets for reassembly of the filter bowls
- Hold the filter bowl firmly when tightening the tensioning screw to prevent the seal twisting
