ENGINE OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT
Required Special Tool
- MB991610: Oil Filter Wrench
Scheme 1
- Start the engine and allow it to warm up until the temperature of the coolant reaches 80 - 90°C (176 - 194°F) WARNING: Use care as oil could be hot.
- Remove the engine oil filler cap.
- Remove the engine room under cover extension. (Refer to «UNDER COVER»(ref-592644-S24529768612014011000000) ).
- Remove the drain plug to drain oil.
- Use the commercially-available tool to remove the engine oil filter.
- Clean the filter bracket side mounting surface and ensure the old O-ring has been removed.
- Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter.
- Once the O-ring of the engine oil filter is touching the flange, use the commercially-available tool to tighten to the specified torque. Tightening torque: Approximately 3/4 turn [14 ± 2 N.m (124 ± 17 in-lb)]
- Install the drain plug and refill engine oil. (Refer to «ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT»(ref-592643-S16194012212014011000000) ).
- Rev the engine a few times, and check to be sure that no engine oil leaks at the oil filter.
- Install the engine room under cover extension. (Refer to «UNDER COVER»(ref-592644-S24529768612014011000000) ).
Scheme 2
- Check engine oil level.
- Remove the engine oil pressure switch. (Refer to «OIL PRESSURE SWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-592643-S10923523412014011000000) ).
- Install the engine oil pressure gauge. NOTE: Use a 1/8 pipe thread adapter.
- Run the engine to warm it.
- After the engine has been warmed up, check that engine oil pressure is within the standard value. Standard value: At idle: 29 kPa (4.2 psi) or more At 3, 500 r/min: 294 - 686 kPa (43 - 100 psi)
- Remove the engine oil pressure gauge.
- Install the engine oil pressure switch. (Refer to «OIL PRESSURE SWITCH REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-592643-S10923523412014011000000) ).

Scheme 5
- Apply sealant to the oil pressure switch thread. Specified sealant: Three bond 1215 or equivalent CAUTION: After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.
- In the same manner as removal, use special tool MB992118 to tighten the oil pressure switch to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 10 ± 2 N.m (89 ± 17 in-lb) NOTE: Install the engine oil pressure switch immediately after applying sealant.

Scheme 7
Required Special Tool
- MB991346: Top Cover Wrench
Scheme 8
- Loosen the engine oil pump sprocket center bolt and remove the engine oil pump drive chain and engine oil pump sprocket.
Scheme 9
- Wipe off the dirt on the crankshaft sprocket and crankshaft as shown in the illustration below using a rag, and then degrease them. NOTE: Degrease them to prevent drop in the friction coefficient of the pressed area, which is caused by oil adhesion.
- Install the crankshaft sprocket to the crankshaft.

- Set the number 1 cylinder to the top dead center of compression.
- Install the engine oil pump sprocket to the engine oil pump drive chain.
- Install the engine oil pump drive chain in the crankshaft sprocket while the engine oil pump sprocket is installed in the engine oil pump drive chain.
- Install the engine oil pump sprocket in the engine oil pump assembly while the engine oil pump sprocket is installed in the engine oil pump drive chain.
- Hold the engine oil pump sprocket with special tool MB991346 in the same manner as removal.
- Tighten the engine oil pump sprocket center bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 23 ± 2 N.m (17 ± 1 ft-lb)

Required Special Tool
- MB991346: Top Cover Wrench
Scheme 11
- After removing the engine oil pump sprocket center bolt, disconnect the engine oil pump sprocket from the engine oil pump assembly while the engine oil pump sprocket is installed in the engine oil pump drive chain.
>>A<< ENGINE OIL PUMP SPROCKET CENTER BOLT INSTALLATION
- Install the engine oil pump sprocket in the engine oil pump assembly while the engine oil pump sprocket is installed in the engine oil pump drive chain.
- Hold the engine oil pump sprocket with special tool MB991346 in the same manner as removal.
- Tighten the engine oil pump sprocket center bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 23 ± 2 N.m (17 ± 1 ft-lb)
- Remove the tie-wrap securing the engine oil pump sprocket and engine oil pump drive chain to prevent the slippage between them.
