See the Section 4. Tighten the adapter to<br />
40-60 lb-ft (55-80 Nm). Figure 5.108. .<br />
CAUTION<br />
IF THE OIL FILTER IS TIGHTENED MORE<br />
THAN 3/4 OF A TURN AFTER IT CONTACTS<br />
THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE OIL FILTER WILL<br />
BE DAMAGED AND LEAk FLUID. DAMAGE<br />

19. Apply axle lubricant to the gasket of the new<br />
oil filter. Install the oil filter onto the adapter.<br />

CAUTION<br />
When you apply some silicone gasket materials,<br />
a small amount of acid vapor is present. To<br />
prevent serious personal injury, ensure that the<br />
work area is well-ventilated. Read the manufacturer’s<br />
instructions before using a silicone gasket<br />
material, then carefully follow the instructions. If a<br />
silicone gasket material gets into your eyes, follow<br />
the manufacturer’s emergency procedures.<br />
Have your eyes checked by a physician as soon<br />
