How do you change the oil in a 1998 Dodge Durango?

Answer 1

It's easy to do. Crawl under the truck with a pan big enough to hold 2 gallons and place it under the plug in the oil pan. Remove the plug and let the oil drain into it. Replace the pulg tightly after all the oil is drained. Locate the oil filter, it should be either on the side of the engine or bottom, and remove it by spinning it counter-clockwise. rteplace it with a new filter that has a little fresk oil on the rubber gasket. Spin it on hand tight only. Replace the oil you drained with five quarts of new oil by adding it through the plug in the valve cover on top of the engine. It has an oil emblem on it. Check the level with the dipstick and make sure it shows full. Crank the truck and let it idle while you look under it for any leaks. shut it off and recheck the level adding any oil if needed to the full mark. Piece of cake.
