Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Chrysler Pt Cruiser MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Engine oil

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands to facilitate access to the oil sump. Position a container under the drain plug and unscrew it to drain the used oil. Next to the drain plug is the oil filter: unscrew it with a metal strap wrench, taking care to avoid any oil spillage. Apply clean oil to the gasket of the new filter and tighten it by hand. Then remove the axle stands from under the vehicle to position it level and fill the engine with clean oil until the correct level is reached.
