Re: Old Change for malibu 97

1) remove the drain plug under the engine and drain the oil
2) Reinstall plug. Bolt only needs to be snug.
3) Remove filter...may need a wrench
4) Compare old filter to new filter to make sure they are the same. Look at the O-ring location and make sure the old one still has it on.
5) Fill the new filter 3/4 of the way with new oil. Add a film of oil to the filter gasket. Screw back on vehicle hand tight only. Do not use wrench.
6) Read step 5 again.....it's important.
7) Fill engine with oil. Do not overfill.
8) Start engine check for leaks and ensure oil light goes out.
9) Shut engine off and check oil level. Top off if needed.
10) Do an overall check of levels, belt, hoses etc.
