Steps:

1. Place the portable vehicle ramps in front of either wheel and slowly pull the vehicle up onto them.
2. Put the vehicle in park and engage the parking brake.

3. Open the hood of the car and locate the oil filter.

4. Remove the oil filter by turning it counterclockwise.

5. Lie down under the front of the car and locate the oil drain plug in the opening on the skid plate.

6. Place the oil pan below the drain plug.
7. The oil will be extremely hot if the vehicle has recently been running.
8. Remove the oil drain plug with the 14 mm socket wrench and let the oil drain into the drain pan.

9. Allow the oil to drain from the vehicle.
10. 5 - 10 minutes will be needed for the oil to drain. This can be monitored by watching the oil drain from the location where the oil filter was removed.
11. Once there is no more oil pouring out, reattach the oil drain plug with the 14 mm socket wrench until it is tight.

12. Screw the new oil filter in a clockwise rotation onto the same area where the old one was removed until it is tight.

13. Locate the oil fill cap that is beside the new filter and take it off. Then pour the oil in using the funnel.
14. Only pour in 5.8 quarts of oil. Pouring in too much oil may cause damage to the engine.
15. Pour slowly so that the oil does not spill out of the funnel.
16. Remove the funnel and firmly reattach the oil fill cap.

17. Slowly roll the vehicle off of the portable vehicle ramps.
18. Check the dipstick to make sure there is enough oil. The level indicated should be in-between the two metal dimples on the end of the dipstick.
19. If the vehicle is not on level ground, the dipstick may not show an accurate reading.
20. Safely dispose of the remaining oil and the old oil filter.
