How do I Install a Floyd Jones Oil Filter?
A Floyd Jones oil filter is an aftermarket filter produced for various makes and models of vehicles. The oil filter needs to be replaced every 3,000 miles -- at the same time as the vehicle's oil is changed. Fresh oil filters ensure that the oil and engine remain free of heavy metal buildup, which can hinder engine performance and cause major damage.

Place the oil filter on the vehicle's filter port. The location of this port varies widely but is generally found in the middle of the engine. It may be necessary to lift the car up on a pair of jack stands to reach the port. Twist the oil filter one-half turn clockwise to secure it.
