• Q: How to Replace an Oil Filter on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Before you change the oil and filter, turn the engine on until it heats to its normal operating temperature, park the vehicle on a level area and switch off the engine. Take off the oil fill cap, then bring up the vehicle on a hoist. Put a container underneath the oil pan drain plug (2) and take the plug out, letting the oil collect in it; check the plug's threads and put them back if everything looks good. After that, pull out the old oil filter (1) and install the new one (1). Rewind the oil pan drain plug (2) and tighten it to 28 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). When the car is using the specified type of oil, lower the vehicle, fill the oil sump (1) and install the oil fill cap (1). Once the engine is running, examine it for leaks and afterwards, with the engine off, check the oil level (3). All engines should have a high-quality throwaway oil filter replaced with another from Mopar(R) or its equivalent. You should dispose of your used engine oil as instructed, since the warning reminds us of the hazards for those who come into contact with it.
