How to Install an Oil Filter on Dodge Nitro?

Before putting in the new engine oil filter, gently apply engine oil to the gasket. Then, fit the end of the filter onto the adapter nipple and as soon as the gasket touches the seal, tighten the filter one full turn without applying too much pressure. Following installation, enter all the necessary oil, check the level in the crankcase and operate the engine, looking for any oil leaks.

Which Oil Filter is Best for All Engines and How to Remove It on Dodge Nitro?

All engines use a high-quality oil filter for the system and you should use a Mopar(R) or equal filter. Place a drain pan below the filter, use the right size wrench to loosen it and slowly remove the oil filter. Counterclockwise motion will enable you to remove the oil filter from the oil filter boss on the block. When the filter is removed, hold the gasket end upward and gently pull the filter out from where it was installed in the vehicle. When taking out the filter, also remove its gasket, then clean the gasket sealing spot with a wiping cloth to remove any oil or dirt from it.

The Oil Filter as applied to the Dodge Nitrovehicles is a very important part of the engine health aspects since it is responsible for cleaning the engine oil. It works through straining and capturing damaging particles and promoting the correct oil flow, with media that can either be cellulose or synthetic. Some Dodge Nitro models may include both cartridge type element replaceable and spin on filters - the spin on type coming with provisions for high oil pressure and resistance to the engines' vibrations. The group of performance oriented Dodge Nitro oil filters is built with thicker canister walls and heavy-duty base to withstand distortion and puncture in difficult conditions. Such filters often employ certain types of synthetic media that may provide contaminant retention with maximum efficiency, reaching 99%.
