- Check engine oil level and condition on dipstick and open the engine oil fill cap (I like to place it on the hood latch to make sure I can not forget to put it back on)

- Place the engine oil drain pan under the drain plug and remove it using the 15mm wrench or socket
- Remove oil filter using the oil filter wrench and ratchet making sure to catch excess oil in the drain pan

- Pour 5.7 quarts of engine oil into engine oil fill hole using a funnel
