REMOVAL
All engines are equipped with a high quality full-flow, disposable type oil filter. DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends a Mopar(R) 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.
4. When filter separates from cylinder block oil filter boss, tip gasket end upward to minimize oil spill. Remove filter from vehicle.
NOTE: Make sure filter gasket was removed with filter.
5. With a wiping cloth, clean the gasket sealing surface of oil and grime.
