• You will need a rare 36mm socket to loosen and remove your oil filter housing (see part # W136).

1. Raise vehicle to access the under side of the engine. Support vehicle safely - vehicle ramps or lift recommended.
2. Find the drain plug on the engine. It is located on the right side of the sump, close to two oil cooler lines.
3. Position a suitable oil drain container under the sump.
4. Using a 17mm box wrench, remove the drain plug, allowing oil to drain. Discard the copper seal washer (a new washer is included in our Oil Filter Kit # LPW000010)
5. Lower the vehicle. Locate the oil filter housing in the left front of the engine compartment. It is near the left side of the radiator.
6. Using a 36mm socket (our part # W136), remove the oil filter cap. Discard the 'O' ring.
7. Remove and discard filter element.
8. Fit new filter element large hole to the bottom

11. Lower vehicle and fill with 9 quarts of 5W-30 oil. Run engine until oil lamp is turns off. Stop engine check oil level.
