Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
Refill the engine with oil (see table for oil capacity).
Start the engine to fill the oil filter cartridge.
Stop the engine (allow to stabilise for 5 minutes).
Draining of the engine lubrication system by SUCTION
Place the vehicle on horizontal ground (in the high position if
hydropneumatic suspension).
The engine should be hot (oil temperature 80°C).
Remove the oil by suction through the dipstick tube.
Remove the oil filter cartridge.
Maintain the suction of oil in the sump (15 minutes approx.).
Refit a new oil filter cartridge.
