How to Procedures 3. Using a 36-mm socket, unscrew the oil filter cap and filter and allow the oil to drain into the housing. After draining is complete, remove the assembly from the housing. 4. Remove the filter element by pressing and twisting the side and detaching it from the cap. 5. Remove the oil filter O-ring and discard. Lightly coat a new O-ring with clean engine oil and install it on the filter cap. 6. Check the filter housing for any debris and remove if necessary. 7. Insert a new filter element into the oil filter cap. 8. Insert the filter element and cap assembly into the housing. Torque the cap to 40 to 50 N·m (30 to 37 lb·ft). 9. Drain oil from the oil pan.
Place a suitable receptacle, 19 L (20 qt) or more, beneath the oil drain plug on the underside of the oil pan. 10. Carefully unscrew the oil drain plug, and allow the oil to drain out. 11. Discard the plug seal ring. NOTE: There are several variations of plugs and plug locations on the oil pan. The plugs can be either M22 plugs or plastic bottom drain plugs depending on oil pan configuration. The sealing washer for the M22 plug must be replaced once removed. The plastic bottom drain plug must also be replaced once removed. These components are included in the oil filter kit released for service. 12. Install the oil pan drain plug with a new O-ring and torque the plug.
Install the M22 oil pan drain plug, if removed, with a new seal washer and torque the plug to 45 N·m (33 lb·ft) for plastic oil pans and 65 N·m (48 lb·ft) for aluminum oil pans. Install a new plastic oil drain plug, if removed, and torque the plug to 4 N·m (3 lb·ft). NOTICE: Do not add oil if the oil reading is between the crosshatch area on the dipstick. There are approximately 4.0 L (4.2 qt) from the fill mark to the full mark. Overfilling the oil pan can cause engine damage. 13. Add new engine oil through the oil fill tube in the following amount; Refer to section "Engine Oil Capacities". Verify the oil level reading is between the full and fill marks on the dipstick.
