After driving a certain number of miles, it is advisable to replace the oil filter and change the oil itself. This helps improve engine reliability while preserving performance.

Before discovering the necessary steps to complete these tasks, remember to work with the engine off for safety reasons. Start by lifting the hood and then remove the oil filler cap. At this point, raise the vehicle and locate the oil pan at the bottom.

Place a drain pan underneath and unscrew the drain plug. Allow all the used oil to drain and then reattach the plug.

Locate the oil filter, remove it, and replace it with a new one. Now, return to the engine compartment and pour the new oil into the reservoir using a funnel.
