- New Caterpillar 1R-0739 oil filter
Procédure:
- Préparer le moteur : Ensure the engine is off and has cooled sufficiently to prevent burns. Position the drain pan beneath the oil filter housing.

- Nettoyer la surface de montage : Thoroughly clean the engine's oil filter mounting surface, ensuring no old gasket material remains.
- Préparer un nouveau filtre : Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the new filter's gasket. This ensures a proper seal and prevents damage during installation.
- Installer un nouveau filtre : Hand-tighten the new filter onto the engine until the gasket makes contact with the mounting surface. Then, tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn, or as specified in your engine's service manual. Ne pas trop serrer.
- Ajouter de l'huile moteur : Refill the engine with the recommended amount and type of new engine oil.
- Vérifiez les fuites : Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any oil leaks around the new filter. If leaks are present, turn off the engine and re-check the filter's tightness.
- Vérifier le niveau d'huile : Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, and then check the oil level. Add more oil if necessary.
