How do you change oil a 1996 Nissan Sentra?

Answer 1

Tools: filter wrench, oil drain pan, 14 mm socket wrench, socket wrench, new oil filter---3682 Fram. The oil plug is located under the passenger side of the car, attached to the oil pan, which is right behind the black plastic flap. You will need a 14 mm socket, turn it clockwise to loosen the plug. Finish loosening the plug by hand, let oil drain into oil pan catcher. Then the oil filter is located above the oil pan, turn the filter counter clockwise, it take the Fram 3682, use the suregrip as it's the easiest to remove in the future. Let the oil drain, put a little bit of the old oil around the new filter's seal, then put the new filter on, turning it clockwise until it's hand tight, use a filter wrench to make sure it's on there tight. Put the plug back on, screwing it with your hand, then use the wrench to tighten it.
