Engine Oil
Refill
Oil filter renewal
NOTE: To avoid draining the oil pump, it is
essential that the engine is filled with oil to the
correct level, before the filter is removed. It is
therefore recommended that the engine oil is
renewed before work on the filter commences.
Clean the oil drain plug and its mating surface
on the engine sump. Fit the drain plug,
complete with a new copper washer and tighten
to 24 lbf.ft (33 Nm).
Refill the engine with fresh oil, suitable for the
climatic conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated (see ‘LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS’,
page 239).
DO NOT overfill the engine! Remember that a
little oil will always remain in the engine after
draining and that, therefore, the quantity of oil
required to refill the engine will be slightly less
than the full capacity quoted in ‘CAPACITIES’,
page 240.
CAUTION: Oil levels above the MAX mark may
cause engine damage, in which case some oil
must be removed from the engine by a service
technician.

After filling, allow a few minutes to elapse
before checking the level on the dipstick (this
will allow all the oil to drain into the sump and
enable a true reading to be obtained). Once the
correct level of oil is shown on the dipstick,
replace the filler cap.

Clean the area around the filter head and
place a suitable container beneath the
engine.
Using a strap spanner, or similar tool,
unscrew the filter anti-clockwise and
discard it.
Smear the seal of the new filter with clean
engine oil, partially fill the filter with oil and
then screw the filter on clockwise, until it
is securely is position. Use hand force
only, DO NOT overtighten.
Start and run the engine. Do not rev the
engine until the oil pressure warning light
extinguishes. Check for oil leaks around
the filter and drain plug.
