NOTICE: On some chassis models the air filter housing may interfere with
installing the oil filter cap and filter element straight into the housing. If this
is the case, loosen or remove the air filter housing to allow for proper oil
filter installation. Installing the filter element on an angle may damage the oil
filter standpipe or bypass valve.
9. Insert the filter element and cap assembly into the housing. Torque the cap
to 40 to 50 N·m (30 to 37 lb·ft).
10. Place a suitable drain pan, 47 L (50 qt) or more, under the oil pan.
NOTE: The oil pan contains multiple plugs that may be used for various
options and applications. The oil drain plug is the lowest plug on the oil pan.
11. Carefully unscrew the oil drain plug, and allow the oil to drain out.
12. Discard the oil drain plug sealing O-ring.
13. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new O-ring and torque the plug:
On a plastic oil pan, torque plug to 45 N·m +/- 7 N·m (33 lb·ft +/- 5
lb·ft).
On an aluminum oil pan, torque plug to 60 N·m +/- 9 N·m (44 lb·ft +/- 6
lb·ft ).
NOTICE: Do not add oil if the oil reading is between the crosshatch area on
the dipstick. There are approximately 5.0 L (5.2 qt) from the fill mark to the
full mark. Overfilling the oil pan can cause engine damage.
14. Add new engine oil through the oil fill tube in the following amount; Refer
to section "Engine Oil Capacities". Verify the oil level reading is between
the full and fill marks on the dipstick.
