First thing is to plan ahead! How ever many liters of oil
and an oil filter are needed before you start. Plan for proper disposal of the
used oil. Where to do the oil change/ Somewhere level. How to dress for an oil
change/ Protect your clothes your hair and your hands and your eyes.
Jack up the car if needed to crawl under. use jack stands for safety. place a
oil collection pail under the oil drain plug and remove the plug. Then remove
the oil filter. Install the new oil filter. Pre lube rubber seal with oil before
screwing the oil filter on. Don't over tighten the filter, usually hand turn on
until it touches then torque it a 1/4 turn further. Replace the drain plug but
don't over tighten. if you strip the threads on the oil pan you will be sorry.
Now you can put the fresh oil in through the oil filler spout. check the dip
stick do not over fill. Start the engine and run for one minute then shut off
the engine and recheck the dipstick again, often you will need 1/2 a liter more
oil so top it up and your almost done. lower car from the jack stands and
Properly dispose of the used oil.
