Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Locate the existing oil filter in the engine bay. It is typically positioned near the bottom of the engine block.
3. Using an appropriate wrench, carefully loosen and remove the old filter. Be prepared for some residual oil to spill; place a catch pan underneath.
4. Clean the mounting surface with a lint‑free cloth to ensure a proper seal.
5. Apply a small amount of fresh engine oil to the rubber gasket of the new V49-0001 filter.
6. Screw the filter onto the housing by hand until it is snug, then tighten an additional half turn with the wrench. Avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
7. Refill the engine with the recommended oil type and volume.
8. Start the engine and check for leaks around the filter mounting area. If any seepage occurs, shut off the engine and tighten slightly more.
