• Q: How to Replace an Oil Filter Without Damaging the Filter Can on 2001 Chrysler LHS?

  A: Make sure not to squeeze the filter can by placing the band of the remove/Install tool band on the base lock seam which is reinforced by the base plate. To begin, use the suitable oil filter wrench to unscrew and remove the used filter from the base and then throw it away. The next step is to wash the base and look at the gasket contact area. Apply some clean engine oil to the gasket of the new filter, then tighten it by hand, until you reach 16 Nm (12 ft. lbs.) of torque after the gasket touches the base or use the filter wrench if it's provided. Once done, fire up the engine and look for leaks.
