Important:
• DO NOT drain the fluid if only the transmission external oil filter adapter is being replaced. • Use a standard strap-type filter wrench to remove or install the transmission external oil filter.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the adapter to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
Notice: Turning the transmission external oil filter more than ONE FULL TURN after gasket contact will damage the filter and may cause fluid leakage.
Notice: Use only clean and approved transmission fluid.
