Locate the engine-oil filter. Position your oil-drain pan beneath it and use your oil-filter wrench to loosen the filter. Once loosened, you can spin the filter off by hand.

Tip: Examine the old filter. Make sure the old oil gasket came off when you removed the filter. If it didn’t, be sure to remove it. Then get your new oil filter, apply the new gasket to it, and lube the gasket up a bit using some new oil.
