Park the car on a level surface, set the parking brake. Start the engine and let it run for at least 5 minutes. Shut it off and then get under the car and remove the oil drain plug from the oil pan and let the oil run into a catch pan. If you have to jack the car up, be sure and use jack stands for safety. Now remove the oil filter and wipe the mounting surface with a clean rag. Apply a coating of oil to the gasket on the filter. Now install the filter and tighten it 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface. No more, no less! Wipe the oil drain plug off and replace the oil pan drain plug once all the oil has drain out. Tighten it to 20 lb/ft of torque. Do not over-tighten and be careful not to cross-thread. Pour in the correct amount of the proper weight oil and start the engine. Look for any leaks at the drain plug and the filter. Your done.
