Steps
- Raise the vehicle and drain the oil
Park on level ground, chock the wheels, and raise the vehicle at approved points before supporting it on jack stands. Place a drain pan beneath the oil pan, remove the drain plug, and let the oil drain fully before reinstalling the plug to specification.
- Remove the old oil filter
Move the drain pan below the filter and loosen it with a filter wrench. Clean the mounting surface with a paper towel and confirm the old gasket did not remain attached to the engine.
- Install the new filter
Apply a light coating of fresh oil to the new filter gasket and thread the filter on squarely by hand. Tighten it according to the filter instructions, without using excessive force.
- Refill and verify the oil level
Lower the vehicle and add the specified oil through a funnel, starting below the full capacity. Start the engine briefly, inspect for leaks, shut it off, allow the oil to settle, and bring the dipstick level into range.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
