Lubricate the oil filter element BASE
Lubricating the oil filter element base is an important step in maintaining the health of an engine. Here’s what you need to know about the process:
- Identify the oil filter base: The oil filter element base is typically located at the bottom of the engine block, and holds the oil filter in place.
- Clean the base: Before lubricating the oil filter element base, it’s important to clean it thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may be present.
- Apply oil to the gasket: Once the oil filter element base is clean, apply a small amount of engine oil to the gasket on the oil filter. This will help lubricate the gasket and make it easier to install the filter.
- Install the filter: Carefully screw the oil filter onto the base, ensuring that the gasket is properly aligned and lubricated.
- Tighten by hand: Tighten the oil filter by hand until it is snug against the base. Be careful not to overtighten the filter, as this could damage the gasket or the filter itself.
- Check for leaks: After completing the oil filter replacement, check for any leaks around the base. If you notice any leaks or drips, tighten the filter a little more until the leak stops.
By properly lubricating the oil filter element base when installing a new filter, you’re ensuring that the engine has adequate lubrication and preventing damage to the engine caused by lack of proper lubrication. This task is an important part of the routine maintenance required to keep your vehicle running well.
