CAUTION

Install the oil pan within three minutes after liquid gasket is 
applied.
3. Apply liquid gasket of 

φ2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) of 

thickness in diameter to the illustrated area of the oil pan.

Specified sealant:

Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent

4. Tighten the oil pan to the specified tightening torque.

Tightening torque:
M6:10 

± 1 N⋅m (89 ± 17 in-lb)

M8: 29 

± 2 N⋅m (21 ± 1 ft-lb)

.

>>D<< CYLINDER HEAD COVER INSTALLATION

1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder 

head cover, timing chain case and cylinder head.

2. Degrease the cylinder head cover, timing chain case and 

cylinder head.

CAUTION

Install the cylinder head cover immediately after liquid gas-
ket is applied.
3. Appropriately use a minimum amount of sealant. Besides, 

be careful not to allow sealant to squeeze out from the 
application area.
Apply liquid gasket of 4 mm (0.15 inch) of thickness in 
diameter.

Specified sealant:

Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent

4. Tighten the cylinder head cover to the tightening torque in 

the order shown in the illustration.

Tightening torque: 3.0 

± 1.0 N⋅m (27 ± 8 in-lb)

5. Then, tighten it to the specified tightening torque in the same 

order.

Tightening torque: 5.5 

± 0.5 N⋅m (49 ± 4 in-lb)

>>E<< OIL FILTER INSTALLATION

1. Clean the oil filter mounting surface of the ladder frame.
2. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the oil filter.

CAUTION

Use special tool MB991396 to install the oil filter. Tighten-
ing it by hand causes oil leakage due to lack of torque.
3. Screw in the oil filter. When the O-ring contacts the mounting 

surface, use a filter wrench to tighten it.

Tightening torque
