procedures as part of a good filter maintenance program.
Keep all hoses and adapters tight. Repair any leaks immediately. Do not overtighten hose end fittings. Tighten
to specifications only.

level. Remove the filler plug and the check plug. At this point the oil should be flush with the bottom of the
check plug hole. Mnt-B-0034.
