Remove oil filter, lubricate o-ring. Install oil filter and drain plug. Fill to recommended capacity with appropriate oil. Start engine and run until oil pressure light extinguishes (3- 5 seconds). Turn off engine. Verify oil level. Check for leaks. Clean an excess oil. With a paint pen or marker, write the current date and engine hours on the new oil filter for quick reference.
