  A: Begin Oil Filter service by elevating your car before you install the drain pan underneath the engine oil Drain Plug to remove it. Check and clean the engine oil Drain Plug before either repairing it directly or transforming it with a new one. Additionally, examine and fix any issues on the Oil Pan's sealing region before replacing the Oil Pan when necessary. Start by cleaning the Oil Filter adapter sealing surface before replacing the Oil Filter which also requires adapter repairs when required. After the gasket touches the mounting surface apply 3/4 to 1 complete turn of tightening force to the new Oil Filter. Screw the engine oil Drain Plug to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) torque and lower the vehicle after removing the drain pan. After the engine gets new engine oil installation begin the engine afterward check for any fluid leaks. Allow several minutes of draining time for oil to return to the Oil Pan after you stop the engine. Reattach the cleaned oil level indicator to its tube after wiping the contact point clean with a paper towel or cloth until the handle reaches the tube's top edge. Finally check your oil level by removing the indicator twice more but maintain its tip in the downward position.
