• Q: How to Replace an Oil Filter on 2005 Chrysler 300?

  A: Before changing the oil and filter, let the engine run until it reaches regular operating temperature. Then, park your car on level ground, turn off the engine and safely wait for the engine to cool. Support the vehicle with safety stands, making certain that a decent drain pan is beneath the crankcase drain. Take out the drain plug from the oil pan, let the oil come out and look at the threads on the drain plug for damage or stretching; if they seem okay, reinstall the plug; if they look damaged, install a new drain plug and gasket. After that, uninstall the old oil filter and insert the new one. Set the drain plug inside the oil pan, lower your car and open the cap on the oil fill. Add the correct kind and amount of engine oil into the crankcase, then put on the oil fill cap. Turn the engine on, look for leaks and once it stops, check the oil level. When getting rid of used engine oil, act carefully and use safe ways to remove it to protect yourself.
