To begin with, you should know that oil changes are vital for the engine. It's recommended to replace the oil filter with each oil change due to its affordability and easy installation. Before starting, gather the necessary tools, rags, and newspapers for spills. Access to the vehicle's underside is required, either by a hoist, ramps or jack stands. Place a drain pan under the drain plug, remove it, and let the old oil drain. Move the drain pan under the filter, remove the old filter, and clean the mounting area. Apply oil to the new filter's gasket and attach it. Dispose of old oil properly.
