Engine Oil and Oil Filter Replacement Before starting, obtain the oil and the original replacement filter, then lift the vehicle and secure it with appropriate supports to prevent it from falling. The necessary tools are a ratchet wrench, a set of open-end wrenches, a special tool for removing the filter, and a pan for collecting the oil. Position the pan under the engine to catch the oil. Unscrew the oil cap on the oil pan and let it drain.

Use the special tool to unscrew the filter and remove the cartridge. Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one and reinstall the filter.

Also, replace the copper gasket on the oil cap and the one on the filter. Close the oil cap, reinstall the oil filter, and top off with new oil, checking the level with the dipstick.

Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centers. Reset the computer for the next service interval.
