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.
