Precautions for replacing the oil filter are: 1. Clean the sealing surface of the filter seat that contacts the oil filter sealing ring to ensure thorough cleaning; 2. Apply a layer of engine oil on the surface of the new oil filter sealing ring, then tighten it; 3. Start the engine and check for any oil leakage at the sealing surface. If leakage occurs, stop the engine and further tighten the oil filter; 4. Pay attention to the direction of the oil filter and avoid installing it backwards. During engine operation, metal shavings, dust, oxidized carbon deposits and colloidal deposits under high temperature, water, etc., continuously mix into the lubricating oil. The function of the oil filter is to filter out these mechanical impurities and colloids, maintain the cleanliness of the lubricating oil, and extend its service life.
