The recommended frequency for preventive maintenance is to change oil frequently because the engine oil that ages is diluted and dirtied, which causes premature engine wear. It is good practice to change oil filters at each oil change. Before starting the process, collect all materials and tools needed such as drain pan, rubber gloves, breaker bar, socket and filter wrench. Prepare clean rags and newspapers for any spills in case of accidents. Be familiar with the location of the oil drain plug and the filter as well as being careful about hot engines and exhaust components when working under them. Warm up your engine to normal operating temperature then get all required tools along with type of oil. Raise vehicle carefully secure it in place; have drain pan placed beneath the drain plug before using a spanner to release it thus draining out old oil. Wipe off plug's threads; clean up around area there reinstall firmly so no leaks occur afterwards. The position of the drain pan should be below the filter; it is a matter of loosening and unscrewing by means of a special tool provided with this cartridge together with emptying into prepared container what was contained within it earlier on until this stuff comes out completely dry one could do this anything long time finally at last without tightening screwing or winding anything back whatsoever at all. Match old new filters, wipe clean mounting spot apply thin layer fresh gasket attach it motor following directions tightened not using wrenches otherwise other things like pliers are suggested hereupon above thereupon thereafter after afterward henceforth thus thenceforward etcetera etcetera etcetera....

Make sure you dispose of old oils accordingly by getting local recycling or disposal companies involved rather than pouring them directly into drainage systems as this would eventually ruin everything around there.
