• Q: How to Safely and Effectively Change an Oil Filter on 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: In order to best protect yourself, keep in mind that both clean and used engine oil are contaminated and should not be touched for long as your skin might react badly. Change the engine oil according to the times and miles in the Maintenance Schedule. Run the engine until it gets quite warm, then shut it off and put the vehicle on a flat spot. After removing the oil fill cap, put the car on a hoist. Attach a drain container under the oil pan drain plug, remove the plug, leaving the oil to drain and examine its threads. If you find any damage, replace the plug and its gasket. After that, replace the used oil filter with a new oil filter. Secure and tighten the drain plug for the oil pan (2) to 28 Nm or 20 ft. lbs. Lower the vehicle and add the recommended kind and amount of engine oil into the crankcase (1). With the installation of the fill cap complete, run the engine to examine the trend of any leaks, stop it afterward and have a look at how much oil is present (3). Choose a good quality full-flow, throwaway oil filter that is either a Mopar(R) model or the same type. Throw away used engine oil safely, according to the rules in your area.
