NOTE
The engine should be warm prior to
changing the oil.

litres) under the engine oil drain (A).
d. Remove oil pan drain plug (A), and allow the oil to
completely finish draining.
e. Check the condition of the used oil. If either of
the following is evident, have your MacDon Dealer
correct the problem
before starting the engine:
1. Thin black oil indicates fuel dilution.
2. Milky discoloration indicates coolant dilution.

i. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the gasket on the
new filter.

hand.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a filter wrench to install the oil
filter. Over-tightening can damage the
gasket and filter.
