Here are the items you'll need for this repair: 13mm socket, ratchet, socket extension, torque wrench, gloves, drain pan, funnel, jack and jack stands
Remove the oil cap on your vehicle and place it somewhere safe. Raise and support your vehicle. We're using a lift to make it easier to show you what's going on, but this can easily be done at home on a jack and jack stands. Loosen the drain plug with a 13mm socket and ratchet. This is located just in front of your steering rack here in the sub-frame. Now this one is on there really tight; this is why we like to give you torque specs when reinstalling your drain plug. Granted, most people may just be able to feel when the bolt is tight, but a lot of times people will over-tighten these which can cause difficulty and damage, especially in an aluminum pan like this where putting it in there way too tight could cause something to break, crack, or create a leak.
Once you've got it loose, make sure your drain bucket is underneath the vehicle. Loosen the drain plug and place the drain plug somewhere clean and dry while your oil drains. Reinstall your engine oil drain plug into the bottom of the oil pan. Torque the drain plug with a 13 mm socket to 20 foot-pounds. Wipe off any excess oil from the drain plug to make sure it's easy to spot leaks, and we'll pull our drain bucket forward just a little to get it over our oil filter.
Install a filter wrench onto your oil filter. Break it loose. Once it's loose, you should be able to remove the rest of it by hand. Again, make sure the drain bucket is under here. Just start by loosening it up; seeing if anything drains out. There we go. Now once it's just about drained down, go ahead and finish spinning that off. Place it upside down in your drain bucket, and let it finish draining off of the spindle here. You always want to check that the gasket is still on the old oil filter and not stuck up to the surface here. Put some clean oil onto the gasket surface of your oil filter. This will lubricate it, make sure you get a nice seal, and also prevent it from getting stuck on there next time. All you got to do is get that oil filter on as tight as you can by hand. There's no need to put a wrench on here and tighten it up anything more than that.
Place an oil funnel into the fill hole on the top of your engine and fill it with six quarts of your favorite motor oil. Once you've put the oil in the motor, grab the funnel with a rag just to keep that oil from getting everywhere. Reinstall the oil cap.
Start the vehicle; let it run up to oil pressure, which usually only takes about 10 to 15 seconds. Shut it off. Allow the oil to run back into the drain pan and check your level.
