• Q: How to Change Engine Oil and Ensure Proper Disposal with an Oil Filter on 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Create a schedule where you change the oil at the recommended distances and times, warming the engine up until it reaches ordinary temperature, stop it, lift it and support the vehicle on a flat area before stopping. Place the car on safety stands and open the oil fill cap. Position a strong oil container under the drain plug in the oil pan, remove the drain plug and watch as the oil drains while inspecting the drain plug threads; leave the old drain plug and gasket in place until new ones are needed. Replace the oil filter and tighten the drain plug to 28 Nm (20 ft. lbs.), then add the suitable oil to the engine crankcase and cover it with the newly installed fill cap. Before you start the engine, look for leaks. After stopping the engine, see if the oil level is correct. You should use a Mopar-approved, whole-size, disposable oil filter for all engines. You should never discard used engine oil into the open and you should avoid any skin contact with it; if contact happens, wash the area with soap and water and then contact a dealer or local authority for collection center information.
