6.4 DISMANTLING AND REPLACEMENT
6.4.1 Oil engine
Drain the oil while the engine is still hot to ensure quick, complete
draining.
Remove the filler cap with the dipstick and place a sheet of cardboard
or something similar under the drain tube to prevent the oil from
dripping onto the machine’s chassis.
Unscrew plug (1); when refitting the plug take care over the position
of the inner gasket.
Fill with the recommended oil until the upper limit of the dipstick is
reached (
5.3.3). Screw the dipstick cap back on.

5. Install the new oil filter on the filter base and tighten it by hand un-
til the O-ring seats against the filter base.
6. Tighten the oil filter to the specified torque (12 Nm - 1.20 kgm).
Use only a Honda genuine oil filter or a filter of
equivalent quality specified for your model.Using the wrong Honda
filter or a non-Honda filter which is not of equivalent quality may
cause engine damage.

Start the engine and check the filter for leaks.
8. Stop the engine and recheck the oil level. If necessary, add oil to
bring it up to the proper level.
Ask your authorized Honda dealer for advice on
the filter wrench (special tool).
