Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
You'll drain the oil from the oil pan that's on this side of the engine. This is your transmission oil pan. Do not drain this by accident. Make sure you're working on the oil pan here.
Drain plug is back here. It's 14mm. Got our drain pan at the ready. Break this free. Just going to wipe off the excess here, reinstall the drain plug. The little crush gasket stuck to the pan so I'm not worried about that. I just got to thread it in by hand. Take our box wrench, just tighten it. You don't have to kill these. That feels nice and snug. Wipe up any oil.
Now I'll remove the oil filter. Oil filter is up here on the side of the engine. Use the appropriate sized oil filter wrench and loosen it up first. Make sure I have my drain pan ready to go. Okay, once I get it loose I don't want it to drip everywhere. Put my drain pan underneath, and I can spin it off by hand.
We'll take our new filter. I'm just going to make sure that the gasket came with the old one, which it did, but I'm also going to take some of the oil that was there and just put it on our new gasket. Reach up and thread it right into place. Once it gets down and starts to tighten, just going to give it a little extra turn, just hand tight, and that should be good. That shouldn't leak on us. Wipe up any extra oil that dripped out.
Now we're ready to put oil back in the car. Open our oil cap. It actually tells you the weight on there. Put the funnel in. This should take about four and a half quarts. I'm going to start with four and then pull the dipstick and check it. We'll pull the dipstick, just check our oil level. It's almost full, just needs maybe a quarter of a quart. Fill it with the correct amount of oil, remove your funnel. Reinstall the oil cap. Oil change is done.
