4. Installation (Setup)
Replacing an oil filter is typically performed during an oil change. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions regarding oil drain plug location and oil capacity.
4.1. Preparation
- Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
- Allow the engine to cool down to prevent burns from hot oil or engine components.
- Gather necessary tools: wrench for drain plug, oil filter wrench (if needed), drain pan, new engine oil, and the new MANN HU6002Z oil filter.
4.2. Removal of Old Filter
- Locate the oil filter housing. For cartridge-style filters like the HU6002Z, this is usually a plastic or metal cap.

- Remove the old filter element and the old O-ring from the housing cap.
4.3. Installation of New Filter
- Clean the oil filter housing and cap thoroughly.
- Lubricate the new O-ring (supplied with the MANN filter) with a small amount of fresh engine oil.
- Install the new O-ring onto the filter housing cap.
- Insert the new MANN HU6002Z filter element into the housing cap, ensuring it seats correctly.
- Screw the filter housing cap back into place by hand until snug, then tighten to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque using a torque wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Refill the engine with the correct type and amount of new engine oil as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
5. Operating (Usage)
Once the new oil filter and fresh oil are installed, start the engine and check for leaks around the filter housing. Allow the engine to run for a few minutes, then turn it off and recheck the oil level. Top up if necessary.
The oil filter operates continuously to remove impurities from the engine oil, ensuring optimal engine performance and longevity.
