Steps
Drain the used oil
Park on level ground and let the engine cool enough to work safely. Raise and support the vehicle at approved points, place a drain pan below the sump, and remove the plug.
Reinstall the drain plug
Allow the oil to drain completely, inspect the plug and seal, then reinstall the plug to the vehicle specification. Wipe the area clean so leaks are easy to spot.
Replace the oil filter
Remove the inner-fender access clips as needed and use a filter wrench to remove the old filter. Oil the new gasket lightly, install the filter by hand as directed, and restore the liner.
Refill and check level
Add the specified oil grade and capacity through a funnel, then reinstall the cap. Start the engine briefly, check for leaks, shut it off, wait, and verify the dipstick level without overfilling.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
