• Q: How to Replace an Oil Filter Without Damaging the Filter Can on 2002 Chrysler 300M?

  A: Install the tool band strap against the base lock seam which is reinforced by the base plate when you service the oil filter, so as not to deform the filter can. Utilize a proper oil filter wrench to unscrew the filter and then get rid of it. After that, clean the base and look at the gasket contact surface. After lubricating the gasket of the new filter with clean oil, put it in place and tighten to 16 Nm (12 ft. lbs.) torque once the gasket touches the base, with the wrench if you find it useful. When you've finished all other checks, start the engine and look for leaks.
