disconnecting the battery cables.
c. Disconnect the negative (–) cable from the battery and secure it from
contacting the battery terminals to prevent accidental starting.

power).
5. Remove the access panels to get to the drain hose.

12. Clean the filter mounting surface on the engine block.
13. Make sure the gasket is in place on the new filter and apply a thin film of clean
oil to the gasket.
