How to Replace an Oil Filter in an Engine on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

All engines have a new, high-quality oil filter, the full-flow and it should be replaced with an OEM (Mopar) filter at a minimum. Make sure there is a drain pan below the oil filter before anything else. Apply an oil filter wrench on the oil filter, turn it counterclockwise to loosen it and rotate another counterclockwise to take it out of the boss hole. After removing the filter boss, tilt the gasket portion up towards the oil to let the oil out slowly and check that the filter gasket was taken with the filter. Oil and dirt on the gasket's sealing surface should be wiped away with a cloth. While installing, grease the oil filter gasket gently with engine oil, insert the filter and screw it onto the nipple. After you have stretched the gasket onto surface 1, use your fingers to turn the filter 2 about one full turn, making sure not to tighten it too much. Next, pour oil, double-check the oil inside the crankcase and while operating the engine, watch for any leaks.

How to Change an Oil Filter and Safely Dispose of Used Oil on Jeep Wrangler?

When the time and mileage recommended in the Maintenance Schedule come up, always change your engine oil. Be careful not to place your skin in contact with engine oil for a long time, because it can irritate your skin. Never use gasoline, diesel fuel, thinner or solvents to wash hands after touching used engine oil because contaminants might harm your health. Contact your local government office or ring your car dealer to help you find where to dispose of your engine oil. Let the engine run until it's at normal temperature, then open the hood, disconnect the oil fill cap and drain the oil. Put a container under the crankcase drain and remove the plug, so the oil drops into the container. examine the threads around the drain plug in case they have stretched or are damaged. Replace the old oil filter by installing a new one. Screw the drain plug into place, drive the car back onto its wheels and pour the needed engine oil into the crankcase. Replace the oil fill cap, crank the engine and look for leaking liquids. When the engine has been stopped, look at the oil level. Used engine oil needs to be handled carefully when getting rid of it.
