Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools and materials: oil, oil filter, wrench, oil catch pan.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
2. Change the Engine Oil
  • Step 1: Raise the Vehicle

    • Use a jack to lift the front of the vehicle and secure it with jack stands.
  • Step 2: Drain Old Oil

    • Place an oil catch pan under the oil pan.
    • Remove the oil drain plug using a wrench and allow the old oil to fully drain into the catch pan.
  • Step 3: Replace Oil Filter

    • Locate the oil filter and use an oil filter wrench to remove it.
    • Lubricate the rubber gasket of the new oil filter with a bit of new oil, then install it by hand.
  • Step 4: Add New Oil

    • Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten to the manufacturer's torque specification.
    • Pour the recommended type and quantity of new engine oil through the oil filler cap.
3. Final Checks
  • Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, checking for leaks around the oil filter and drain plug.
  • Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more oil if necessary.
