Clean the sealing surface of the filter mounting base. Ensure that all the old oil filter gasket is removed.
Apply clean engine oil to the new oil filter gasket.
Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them. This oil would not be filtered and could be contaminated. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to engine components or engine damage.
Install the oil filter. Tighten the oil filter until the oil filter gasket contacts the base. Tighten the oil filter by hand according to the instructions that are shown on the oil filter. Do not overtighten the oil filter.Replacing the Engine Oil Filters During Engine Operation (Duplex Oil Filters)
This filter contains hot, pressurized oil that can cause burns and fire hazards, which may result in bodily injury or death. Follow the instructions given in this Operation and Maintenance Manual and stop the engine if rapid air movement exists to blow the oil.

Open the "FILL" valve for a minimum of 5 minutes to fill the oil filter elements that will not be serviced. The oil filters that will not be serviced must be full of engine oil. Close the FILL valve.
Move the control valve to the "AUX RUN" position to change the main oil filter elements. Move the selector valve to the "MAIN RUN" position to change the auxiliary oil filter elements.
Allow the oil pressure gauge for the oil filter that is being changed to reach a "ZERO" pressure reading.
Drain the engine oil and clean and replace the oil drain plugs. Operation and Maintenance Manuals, M0078454, Engine Oil and Filter - Change for the procedure.
Open the "FILL" valve for a minimum of 5 minutes to fill the new oil filter elements.
Close the "FILL" valve. Rotate the control valve to the "RUN" position for the oil filter that was serviced.Fill the Engine Crankcase
If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a remote oil filter system, follow the OEM or filter manufacturer's recommendations. Under filling or overfilling the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage.
To prevent crankshaft bearing damage, crank the engine with the fuel OFF. This will fill the oil filters before starting the engine. Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds.
Engine damage can occur if the crankcase is filled above the "FULL" mark on the oil level gauge (dipstick).An overfull crankcase can cause the crankshaft to dip into the oil. This will reduce the power that is developed and also force air bubbles into the oil. These bubbles (foam) can cause the following problems: reduction of the oil's ability to lubricate, reduction of oil pressure, inadequate cooling, oil blowing out of the crankcase breathers and excessive oil consumption.Excessive oil consumption will cause deposits to form on the pistons and in the combustion chamber. Deposits in the combustion chamber lead to the following problems: guttering of the valves, packing of carbon under the
