Remove the oil filter (3) with a filter wrench or by hand
and let the remaining oil drain out. Discard the oil filter.
HINT: If you don't have a proper oil filter wrench and
the filter is on too tight to remove by hand, you can use
a long screwdriver and punch a hole through the filter (in
one side and out the other). Then you can just turn the
screw driver a bit to break the torque. Pull the
screwdriver out and remove it the rest of the way by
hand. Messy, but a good trick to get the filter off in a
pinch.
Apply a thin coat of oil to the new oil filter rubber seal
(4). Install the new filter and snug it up BY HAND. The
torque is only supposed to be 7 ft.lbs. and you can easily
do this just with your hands. Use a rag if your hands are
too greasy for a good grip.
Check the condition of the oil plug gasket(2) and re-use
if it's ok. Replace it every other oil change or any time it
looks worn. Fill the crankcase with the new oil until it
reads on the dipstick(5) and then secure the cap. Apx.

Start the engine and let it idle for 2-3 minutes. While it is
idling, check that there are no leaks from the plug or the
filter. Stop the engine and let it sit for several minutes,
then check the level again and make sure the oil is at the
upper(6) on the dipstick.
