    5. Lightly screw the oil filter into place, then tighten it until the gasket contacts the seat.

    6. Tighten it to the torque specified below.

      Tightening torque: 11.8–15.7 N·m

  7. Start the engine and check for oil leaks, then check the oil level gauge or the oil pressure warning light.

  8. Recheck the engine oil level.

  9. To reset the service interval to the recommended mileage, refer to the service mode section in the owner's manual for the procedure (if applicable).

Inspection

  1. Check the engine oil quality.

    Check the oil for wear, water contamination, discoloration, or dilution. If the quality is clearly poor, replace the oil.

  2. Check the engine oil level.

    After warming up the engine, stop the engine, wait 5 minutes, then check the engine oil level. The oil level should be between the "L" and "F" marks on the dipstick. If the level is low, check for leaks and add oil up to the "F" mark.
