2001 Buick Regal Oil Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: A proper engine oil and Oil Filter replacement starts with lifting the vehicle then placing the drain pan under the engine oil Drain Plug. Begin by cleaning the engine oil Drain Plug then perform an inspection check to decide whether repairing or replacement is needed. The sealing surface on the Oil Pan demands cleaning before you inspect it. If the Oil Pan shows signs of damage you should either repair it or replace it. After removing the Oil Filter you should inspect and cleanse the sealing region of the Oil Filter adapter before repair or replacement if needed. The new Oil Filter requires filtered engine oil for its gasket sealing surface before mounting installation which should reach torque values between 3/4 to 1 full turn when the gasket touches the mounting face. Install the engine oil Drain Plug after tightening it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) and finally pull out the oil drain pan while lowering the vehicle. Start the engine while new engine oil goes inside and check for any signs of leakage. Future procedure requires shutting down the engine while the oil drains back into the Oil Pan during a period of several minutes. The operator removes the oil level indicator from its position on the oil indication tube before cleaning the indicator end with a paper towel or cloth then reinstituting it until the handle touches the tube's top edge. Check the oil levels after removing the oil level indicator once more while keeping its tip in a downward direction. Check and modify the oil level by adding oil or draining excess oil from the engine and perform an inspection for oil leaks.
