Oil Filter: Service and Repair
REMOVAL
All engines are equipped with a high quality full flow, disposable type oil filter. Daimler Chrysler Corporation recommends a Mopar or equivalent oil
filter be used.
1. Position a drain pan under the oil filter.
2. Using a suitable oil filter wrench loosen filter.
3. Rotate the oil filter counterclockwise to remove it from the cylinder block oil filter boss (Fig. 57).
4. When filter separates from adapter nipple, tip gasket end upward to minimize oil spill. Remove filter from vehicle.
5. With a wiping cloth, clean the gasket sealing surface (Fig. 70) of oil and grime.
6. Install new filter.
INSTALLATION
1. Lightly lubricate oil filter gasket with engine oil or chassis grease.
