- 1). Raise the car using the floor jack and support it on jack stands. Place the oil drain pan under the car's oil pan.
- 2). The pan is near the middle of the car's front end and is surrounded by the transmission pan and catalytic converter. Using a wrench, unscrew and remove the drain plug which located at the rear of the pan. Put the drain plug in a safe place so it doesn't get lost.
- 3). Wait for all the oil to drain into the drain pan. Eventually it will slow to a trickle and then stop. Reconnect the drain plug once all the oil is drained.
- 4). Remove the old oil filter, located at the front end of the oil pan, using a filter wrench to loosen it.
- 5). Install the replacement filter, tightening it in place by hand. Once it is snug, use the filter wrench to tighten it about a half turn more. Never over-tighten.
- 6). Lower the car off the jack stands.
- 7). Take the oil filler cap off and put in four quarts of API engine oil using the aid of a funnel in the filler pipe. The oil filler cap is near the front end of the engine in the middle.
