• Q: How to Properly Service an Oil Filter to Prevent Deformation and Ensure Correct Installation on 2000 Dodge Neon?

  A: To avoid bending your oil filter, make sure to use the right supplementary tool and place the strap of your oil filter wrench as near as possible to the part of the base plate reinforcing the filter. Twist the filter off counterclockwise, make sure the mounting surface for the filter is smooth and that it is free of rubber, dirt or pieces of the old filter. Once the gasket is well coated, twist the filter to place its gasket firmly onto the base and tighten it to 15 ft. lbs. or 21 Nm.
