Hyundai 26300-35500 Engine Oil Filter Assembly

Aging and contaminated oil can cause premature engine wear, which is why it is important for home mechanics to change oils periodically. Ensure you have all necessary tools and plenty of rags or newspapers in case of spills. Either ramps, hoists, or jackstands should be employed to enhance accessibility to the underside of the vehicle. Locate the drain plug as well as the filter before starting since there may be problems due to hot engine components. Once the car is parked on a level surface, warm up the engine; turn off then remove the filler cap. Raise your vehicle and put a drain pan under your drain plug; carefully take out the plug. Let all old oil drain out and inspect if any metal shavings are found inside it. Clean up the drain plug properly before reinstalling it tightly back in place and move this pan under the filter for oil. Loosen and remove your old filter, clean its mounting surface and lubricate new gasket on its with some engine oil before finally screwing it into block by hand tightly. Take down your auto while pouring fresh oil through its filler cap; start an engine so that this oil circulates around it; then check whether there are any leaks after that. A few minutes later, reexamine your oil level plus watch out for leakage or proper quantities when next driving anywhere else too. Always dispose used oils at appropriate recycling centers instead of letting them go down drains or seep into earths' surfaces directly.
