Use the correct oil filter. Refer to Section V (Cummins/Fleetguard® Filter Specifications) for the correct part number.

NOTE: Fill the filter with clean lubricating oil before installation.

Apply a light film of lubricating oil to the gasket sealing surface before installing the filter.

CAUTION  Mechanical overtightening of the filter can distort the threads or damage the filter element seat.

Install the filter on the filter head. Tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the filter head surface.

Tighten the oil filter an additional 3/4 of a turn after contact or refer to the filter manufacturer instructions.

Clean the sealing surface.

Check the oil drain plug threads.

Install the drain plug into the steel oil pan.

NOTE: Use a high-quality 15W-40 multiviscosity lubricating oil, such as Valvoline® Premium Blue®, or its equivalent, in Cummins engines. Choose the correct lubricating oil for your operating climate as outlined in Section V.

Fill the engine with clean lubricating oil to the proper level.

Some applications use a slightly different lubricating oil pan capacity, and all lubricating oil quantities mustbe adjusted accordingly. Contact your local Cummins Distributor if you have any questions.

Operate the engine, and check for leaks at the filters and oil drain plug.
