What happens here

Reassemble the aftermarket air filter hose back onto the turbo and secure it with the hose clamps using the multi-screwdriver. Check the engine oil level with the dipstick. It should be slightly high before starting, as the new oil filter will absorb some oil once the engine runs. Start the truck and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil and check for any fuel or oil leaks, especially around the fuel filter canister and oil drain plug. Once checked, you can reinstall the dipstick tube. After the engine has run and settled for a few minutes, re-check the oil level on the dipstick and add more oil if necessary to reach the proper fill line.

Goal: Complete the service, check for leaks, and ensure proper fluid levels.
