Special tools and workshop equipment required

• Assembly tool - T10549-
• 32 mm socket wrench
• Oil spill cloth

• Remove engine cover.
• Loosen the oil filter housing -arrow- with a SW 32 mm socket wrench .
• Wait a few minutes until the oil flows from the housing to the oil filter.
• Completely remove the oil filter housing-arrow-.

NOTICE Prevent engine oil from dripping onto components.

Before starting with the generator removal, cover with a cloth.

Extracting engine oil

• Route the suction probe of the oil removal device through the oil level measuring tube and siphon the engine oil.

NOTICE Use a suction probe with the largest possible diameter! Insert the suction probe no further than to the point where you feel the first resistance. The tip can otherwise be deflected at the bottom in the oil basin; in this case a large amount of oil will remain in the engine.

Follow the operating instructions of the suction device.

Drain the oil through the drain plug

• Remove noise insulation under the engine.
• In vehicles with plastic oil sump: unscrew drain plug with the assembly tool - T10549- .
• In vehicles with sheet metal oil sump: unscrew drain plug with captive seal ring.
• Allow engine oil to drain out.

NOTICE After the engine oil has been drained, the plug must always be renewed. This prevents leaks.

Please observe requirements for disposal.

• Moisten O-ring of the new drain plug with engine oil.
• In vehicles with plastic oil sump: tighten new drain plug with the assembly tool - T10549- up to stop.
• In vehicles with sheet metal oil sump: bolt new drain plug hand-tight and then tighten with the specified tightening torque.
• Install noise insulation under the engine.

Renewing oil filter element

• Removing the filter element.

NOTICE Observe environmental requirements for disposal.

• Moisten the new O-ring -2- on the oil filter housing -1- with engine oil and insert it into the groove.
• Renew filter element -3-.

• Use an SW 32 mm socket wrench to tighten the oil filter housing -arrow- to the specified tightening torque.
• Top up engine oil.

NOTICE Fill the engine oil slowly! Narrow fill nozzle with the housing structure underneath. The oil thus flows very slowly.

• Install engine cover panel.
