:
  • Place your car on jack stands
    and place a drip pan underneath the filter.
  • Remove the metal drain cap on the filter.
  • Use a 27-mm socket and a 3/8-inch ratchet to remove the old oil filter from its housing.
  • Wipe down the housing with a rag or a paper towel.
  • Replace the paper cartridge and the O-ring of your filter. Then, apply a small amount of oil to the O-ring.
  • Tighten the new filter into place first with your hands, then with the 27-mm socket. Be careful not to over-tighten the filter.
