Accepted Answer

The procedure begins by raising the vehicle and placing it on supports before starting the oil and filter replacements. Place a drain pan under the engine's oil Drain Plug before you remove this plug to let all oil drain from the system. Screw and tighten the oil pan Drain Plug until it reaches 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs. Of torque). To remove the Oil Filter cap you should use a 32 mm (1 1/4 inch) socket or an Oil Filter wrench that fits the outside diameter or an Oil Filter wrench to ensure an open-end wrench does not touch the hex. To begin remove the Oil Filter cap but leave the filter on the cap before detaching the filter from its cap. Follow these steps for replacement: add the new Oil Filter onto the cap before installing the cap and filter together. Tighten the Oil Filter cap with care because excessive torque can destroy the cap and create an oil leak. A 32 mm (1 1/4 inch) socket or an Oil Filter wrench should be used to twist the cap until it's fully seated with no torque above 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). To finish the replacement your vehicle requires a drop in position followed by an oil addition.
