2001 Buick Park Avenue Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2001 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: The vehicle requires first its elevation and suitable support before starting engine oil and filter replacement. Place the drain pan under the engine oil Drain Plug followed by unfastening the plug. Check and clean the engine oil Drain Plug as you make necessary repairs while conducting inspection of the Oil Pan surface for damage. Then replace the components if required. The next step consists of removing the Oil Filter followed by examination and cleaning the Oil Filter adapter area for possible repairs or replacement. The new Oil Filter requires a thin coat of clean oil before installation following this step by tightening it to 3/4 to 1 full turn after the gasket makes contact with its mounting surface. Loosen the Drain Plug of the engine oil then tighten it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). After putting the vehicle in the lowered position you should add fresh motor oil before examining oil leak spots during engine startup.
