Prepare a drain pan or container to catch the old oil.
Locate the oil filter housing on the top of the engine, near the front.
Clean the area around the oil filter housing to ensure a good seal when reinstalling the new filter.
Use an oil filter wrench or a 24mm socket with a ratchet to loosen and remove the oil filter counterclockwise.
As soon as the oil filter loosens, quickly place the drain pan or container under it to catch the draining oil.
Once the old oil has completely drained out, use a rag to clean the oil filter housing and remove any debris.
Inspect the old oil filter for signs of wear, damage, or contaminants.
Apply a thin coat of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter. This helps create a better seal and prevents leaks.
Screw the new oil filter onto the housing by hand until it's snug. Do not overtighten the oil filter.
Fill the engine with the recommended amount and type of new oil. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil capacity and specifications.
Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for any leaks around the oil filter.
Turn off the engine and recheck the oil level to ensure it is at the proper level.
