  1. While the oil is draining, locate the oil filter, which is usually located near the engine block.

  3. Before installing the new oil filter, use a clean rag to wipe any oil residue from the area where the filter will be installed.
  1. Apply a small amount of clean oil to the rubber gasket on the new oil filter to help it seal properly.  
  2. Install the new oil filter by hand, being careful not to over-tighten it.
