  Q: How to Properly Change an Engine Oil Filter on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  First, drive the vehicle until the engine has reached its normal operating temperature and then park it level with the wheels stopped. Keep the car suspended on safety stands, uncap the oil fill and under the oil drain, place the drain pan. After loosening and removing the Drain Plug from the crankcase, let all the oil drain into the pan and examine the threads on the drain plug for any damage or stretching; if the threads are damaged, replace the plug and its gasket. After that, remove the old oil filter and replace it with a new one and then put the drain plug back in the crankcase. Bring the vehicle down on its tires and put oil that matches the manual's requirements into the crankcase, then add the oil fill cap. Turn on the car and check if anything is leaking and afterward check the oil level after turning the engine off. All engines use a high-quality, full-flow oil filter that can be thrown away and swapping it with a Mopar filter or an equivalent should be done. It's very important to get rid of used engine oil properly and make sure your skin doesn't get any on it; always wash your skin with soap and water and never wash it off with gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner or solvents. Ask your dealer or the government where the nearest oil collection center is located.
