Warning: In these models of vehicles, the electric fan can operate with the ignition off. When working in the fan area, turn off its motor or disconnect the negative battery cable.
Warning: Do not work under a vehicle that is supported by only one jack. Always use stands.
1. Start the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature - in this case, the oil and carbon deposits will come out more easily.
2. Remove the cap from the valve mechanism oil filler neck.
3. Raise the vehicle and support it on stands. Make sure it is securely supported.
4. Place the oil pan underneath the engine under the plug, then unscrew the plug. It is best to do the last few turns of the plug wearing an old glove to avoid scalding yourself with hot oil.
5. Check the used oil for metal particles.
6. After all the oil has drained, wipe the plug with a clean rag. Clean the area around the plug hole, screw the plug back in place and tighten.
7. Move the oil pan under the oil filter, which is located on the front (radiator side) of the engine.
8. Loosen the oil filter fastening by turning it counterclockwise. Unscrew the loosened filter manually.
9. Wipe the connecting surface on the block with a clean cloth. Make sure there are no old gasket particles left on it. If necessary, scrape them off with a copper scraper.
10. Lubricate the rubber gasket on the new filter with engine oil. Then screw it into place by hand.
Warning: Do not use a wrench to tighten the filter.
11. Lower the vehicle. Fill the engine with fresh oil through the oil filler neck in the valve cover. Pour 3.8 L (4 quarts) of fresh oil into the engine. Wait a few minutes for the oil to flow into the container, then measure the oil level. If the oil level is low, add more.
12. Screw on the oil filler cap.
13. Start the engine and let it run for about a minute. While it is running, look underneath the car and check for oil leaks from the oil pan plug or around the oil filter.
14. Wait a few minutes after turning off the engine, then recheck the level with the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
