Oil Bypass Filter

 

Removal

Place a drip pan under the oil bypass filter (6714) . Unscrew the oil bypass filter from the adapter fitting using an oil filter wrench and clean the adapter recess and the filter gasket sealing surface.

 

Installation

  1. Coat the gasket on a new oil bypass filter with clean engine oil. Place a new oil bypass filter in position on the adapter fitting. Hand tighten the oil bypass filter until the gasket contacts the sealing surface and then advance it one-half turn.
  1. Operate the engine at fast idle, and check for oil leaks. If oil leaks are evident, perform the necessary service to correct leakage. Check the oil level and add oil as required to bring to specified level.
