Lift the front of the vehicle using your jack and jack stands.
OR if you are of medium build you can slip right under the car without having to lift it up.
Locate the drain plug
Drain the Oil
Place your drain pan under the oil pan. Also open the oil cap up top on the engine to help drain faster.
Remove the 13mm oil drain plug, you may need to use a breaker bar as with the awkward angle you would be at the plug might be rather snug.
LUBE UP THE GASKET OF THE NEW OIL FILTER WITH MOTOR OIL. Screw the new filter on, tightening it per the instructions on the box.
Mobil1 filter instructions say to seat the gasket and tighten one 3/4 turn.
Fill with New Oil
Check the oil level by removing the dip stick, drying it and re-inserting it.
Check the level by reading where the oil shows up on the end. When the engine is warm!
Finish Up
Resetting the Oil Service Light
Scroll through on the menu to the oil life, press and hold the check make to reset the oil life.
