If the base is removed from the engine 10 (pic. 166) filter, then during assembly it is necessary to install a new sealing ring and tighten the nut 9 of the filter base to a torque of 25 Nm. Do not apply any lubricant to the O-ring. View of the filter base from the inside is shown in fig. 175.
Recommendations for installing an oil filter are written on a sticker on the filter housing. Always install a new rubber o-ring on the filter, which should be lubricated with engine oil around the perimeter. Screw in the new oil filter by hand without using any tool to tighten it. Finally, check the oil level and add oil to the engine if necessary.
