Engine Oil Filter Replacement
  1. If four numbers or marks (1 to 4 or ▼ to ▼▼▼▼) are printed around the outside of the filter, you can use the following procedure to tighten the filter.
    • Spin the oil filter on until its seal lightly seats against the oil pan, and note which number or mark is at the bottom.
    • Tighten the oil filter by turning it clockwise three numbers or marks from the one you noted. For example, if mark ▼ is at the bottom when the seal is lightly seated, tighten the oil filter until the mark ▼▼▼▼ comes around to the bottom.
