  2. What you’ll need • The car (obviously) • Hydraulic car lift • Floor jack (if lift isn’t available) • Jack stands (if using floor jack) • Creeper (if using floor jack and jack stands) • New oil filter • New oil (amount and type may vary) Gary Clements

  3. What you’ll need (pt.2) • Ratchet (probably 3/8 but size may vary) • Socket (size will vary) • Oil filter wrench • Funnel • Drain pan (or another place for the old oil to spill out) • Place to dump oil (do not use sink or any Gary Clements

  4. directions • First raise the vehicle high enough to stand under (or for a creeper to fit under it with enough room to work with) • Put drain pan in place so it will catch the oil • Find oil pan and unscrew oil plug so that the old oil pours out into the pan • Wait for all the oil to pour out and put oil plug back Gary Clements

  5. Directions (pt.2) • Make sure oil plug is tightened enough and wipe any excess oil off bottom of oil pan • Find oil filter and use oil filter wrench to loosen the oil filter (may not be needed if oil filter has black grip on it) • Make sure the pan catches any oil that comes out of the oil filter hole and dump contents of oil filter into the pan then place the filter upside down • Dip finger in old oil and put a thin layer of oil around the edges of the oil filter Gary Clements

  6. Directions (pt.3) • Lower car (if using hydraulic car lift lowering if it’s on jack stands isn’t needed) • Find and remove oil cap and put funnel in place • Pour oil into funnel (allow time for all the oil in the funnel to go into the oil pan) • Replace oil cap and check dip stick add oil if your low Gary Clements
