  A: Proper vehicle suspension is needed before starting an Oil Filter service and repair. Place the oil drain pan under the engine oil Drain Plug and.rotate the plug to remove it. The engine oil Drain Plug requires cleaning followed by inspections before repairing or replacing it when needed. The cleaning process also applies to the Oil Pan sealing surface where any damage requires pan replacement. Next, remove the Oil Filter. You should apply clean oil to the replacement Oil Filter gasket and then install the new filter while tightening it 3/4 to 1 full rotation past when the gasket touches the mounting surface. Insert the engine oil Drain Plug by tightening it to a torque of 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). The vehicle should be lowered while removing the drain pan. Place new engine oil into the engine before starting the motor to check for leaking fluids. The engine should be off while allowing oil to return to its original position inside the Oil Pan for a few minutes. Readjust the oil level indicator to the tube by cleaning the indicator end with a paper towel then reinstall it so the handle points towards the tube opening. Recheck the oil level while holding the tip of the oil level indicator down. Check the oil level and perform adjustments by draining out or adding more engine oil when needed.
