--------------- END SUPPLEMENT ---------------

Description of Change: The oil filter change valve used in the oil filter group has been revised. The revised oil filter change valve (1) has a slightly larger outside diameter. This reduces the clearance between the housing (2) and the valve. This results in improved sealing and less oil leaking while the oil filters are being changed.

Location of the revised 7E-0930 Oil Filter Change Valve (1) and housing (2) in the 1W-0798 Oil Filter Group.

Adaptable To: The revised 7E-0930 Oil Filter Change Valve is part of the 1W-0798 Oil Filter Group. The revised valve can be used to replace the earlier valve in all 1W-0798 Oil Filter Groups.
