Want to change the oil and filter on your Jeep Wrangler? No worries. Follow these steps. Lift the bonnet and secure it, then use a socket wrench to unscrew the oil filter cap. Raise the vehicle on a column lift and unscrew the oil sump bolt, allowing the fluid to drain into a disposal container. Reinstall the oil sump bolt, fit the new filter, and top up with new oil. Use the dipstick to check the oil level multiple times until you reach the ideal measurement.
