Oil Filter Replacement Procedure
NOTE
Be careful with hot oil to prevent burns.
Always use a genuine Kawasaki oil filter for replacement. Other
brands of oil filters may also fit but they may be of poor quality.
Drain the engine oil into an appropriate container.
Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise.
Apply oil to the seal [E] of the new oil filter.
Turn the new oil filter clockwise until its seal [E] comes in contact with
the mating surface. Then, turn the oil filter by hand an additional 3/4
turn.
Pour in the specified amount of engine oil.
Start the engine, operate it approximately 3 minutes, and then stop
the engine. Inspect around the oil filter to make sure that there is no
oil leak.
The oil level decreases by an amount that is equivalent to the capacity
of the oil filter. Replenish the oil to this amount.
