Is it possible to change an oil filter without changing the oil?
ANS1Yes, but this is not recommended. You will lose some oil in the process of changing the filter, so check your oil before you start the engine and add what is needed.ANS2I suggest that you always change the filter before you change the oil. Change the filter with the oil still in the crankcase, that way if the new filter doesn't fit you can put the old filter back on and drive back to the parts store to exchange the filter for the right one. If you change your oil first, the new oil will be contaminated by the old oil in the filter if you have to put it back on to drive the car to get the right filter.As Ans1 says, it is not recommended to change the filter without changing the oil. You are changing the oil, not because the oil is dirty, but because it is chemically changed by use and will not properly protect your engine.
