Remove used oil filters (1) and discard the used oil filters. Note: The filters are accessed through the right front wheel well. Oil may be trapped in the filter housing bases. In order to avoid possible burns, remove the filters when the filters are cool enough to touch with your bare hand. Drain the oil into a suitable container.
Clean the filter housing base. Make sure that the former gaskets are removed.
Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the seal of each new filter.
Install the filters by hand. Tighten each filter until the sealing surface contacts the base. Note the position of the index marks on each filter in relation to a fixed point on the filter base. Note: Caterpillar filters have rotation index marks that are spaced 90° or 1/4 of a turn away from each other. When you tighten the filters, use the rotation index marks as a guide.
Tighten each filter according to the instructions that are printed on the filter. Use the index marks as a guide. Note: You may need to use a Caterpillar strap wrench, or another suitable tool, in order to turn the filters to the amount that is required for final installation. Make sure that the installation tool does not damage the filters.
Start the engine and operate the engine at low idle for five minutes. Inspect the engine oil filters for oil leaks. Make any necessary repairs.
