Thanks Roadgeneral! I will change mine myself this weekend. I was looking at a trip to the dealer, but don't need to with those excellent instructions.

Thanks again!

My cap has 25 ft/lbs printed right on it. The service manual states 25 ft/lbs or 34 nm (newton/meters).

Great advise given. Could I just add that first drain the canister and then crack the lid. Give it time to toally drain before pulling the lid off with the filter attached. Then have at it....it's all good.
