2. OIL DRAIN, cont'd.
F. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Apply a small
amount of silicone sealer to the new threads. Apply
more sealer to the male threads of the 3/8" NPT x 45
°
street elbow and secure in the hole. Position the fitting
so that it points up toward the top/front of the vehicle
at approximately a 45
°
angle. Make sure a seal is
formed all around the fitting. Thread the 3/8" NPT x 1/2"
barb fitting into the 45
°
street elbow using a small
amount of pipe sealer.
G. Drain engine oil and change filter.
H. The drain hose will be attached to the fitting in later
steps. If your installation is going to be over several
days we suggest that you cover the fitting to protect it
from dirt.
