Attention.
- A hot engine and engine oil can cause various burns. You must turn off the engine and wait until it cools down.
- A vehicle that is raised on a lift but not secured with safety stands is dangerous. It may come off and fall, causing death or serious injury. Do not work around or under a raised vehicle that is not supported by safety stands.
- Prolonged skin contact with used engine oil can cause skin cancer. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after handling engine oil.
- If engine oil is spilled on exhaust system components, it must be wiped up immediately. Otherwise, after heating the exhaust system, spilled oil will cause unpleasant odors.

Install two nuts of the correct size (pipe thread %-16 UNF) to the oil filter connector.
Using wrenches, tighten the nuts in opposite directions (as it shown on the picture), to hide them.
Installing a wrench on the outer nut, tighten the oil filter connecting element to a torque of 30-40 Nm.
