Oil Change: Replace Filter

Video Transcript

"Okay so we're going to go ahead and get this new filter on the car. We went ahead and lubricated the gasket a little bit with the new oil, so this will help keep it sealed better and the gasket won't dry out. So you're just going to go ahead and go back to where the old filter came from obviously. I'm just going to fit it over. Usually there's a little tube that you want to fit the filter over. And you're going to be real careful with these threads and the filter, and make sure you get it in the right place, or else it won't fit right. This one's getting, it's a little tricky. So we'll get it all of those threads. Feels like it's going. Okay and it's working good, tighten it there. And I'm going to go ahead and tighten it up with the little wrench tool, or socket tool that I took the old filter off with. Now you want to be real careful with this part of it because in some instances, some cars and some filters, you don't want to screw them on too tight, or you could damage the gasket. So be real careful and if all else fails, always read the directions on the box of the filter, and look at your car's manual. And if you bought a car book at the auto parts store, that's always a good resource as well. So this one though, we're going to go ahead and tighten all the way. And in the case of those other ones, that's not to say they should be loose. Most of the times it's, you screw them on to connection so the gasket hits the connection. And then you go approximately a half a turn to three quarters of a turn, to make sure they're connected. But this one feels pretty good, I think we got it in. So we're just going to put the new oil in, and make sure we get the plugs all set and we're ready to go."
