How to Replace Engine Oil and Oil Filter

Model: Dodge Caliber MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Engine oil

Place the car on a ramp or lift it using a jack at the front. Locate the drain plug for the engine oil and unscrew the bolt that seals it. Position a container underneath and allow the oil to drain into it. Once finished, re-tighten the bolt. Locate the oil filter and remove it to replace it with a new filter. Finally, open the bonnet of the engine bay, locate the oil filler cap, and add the new oil. Check the oil level using the dipstick. The maintenance operation shown in the images is performed on a Dodge Caliber.
