Installation Guide

1. Drain the Engine Oil: Place a drain pan under the oil filter housing and remove the old filter. Allow the oil to fully drain before proceeding.
2. Prepare the New Filter: Remove any protective packaging from the Bosch P9261. If your vehicle requires, apply a thin layer of fresh engine oil onto the rubber seal to ensure a proper seal.
3. Install the Filter: Screw the filter clockwise until it is snug but not over‑tightened. A torque wrench set to the manufacturer’s specification (typically around 10–12 Nm) can be used for precision.
4. Refill Engine Oil: Refill with the recommended oil type and capacity as specified in your vehicle’s owner manual.
5. Check for Leaks: Start the engine, let it reach operating temperature, and inspect the filter area for any signs of leakage. Tighten further if necessary.
