Ford D4ZZ-6731-B Filter Assembly - Oil

First of all, for engine durability, it is essential to change the oil frequently. Gather tools and materials, jack up your vehicle appropriately and let the engine warm up. Let out the oil, look for any metal particles and clean the plug. Tighten up the plug, get rid of the old filter and fit a new one. Bring down your car, pour in new oil, examine for leakage and watch over how much oil is there. Dispose of waste oil properly. In certain automobiles, it is possible to adjust oil change dates via instrument panel.

When working under the vehicle, be cautious of the hot exhaust components to avoid burns or injuries.

After removing the oil filter, you should clean the mounting surface and compare the old and new filters.

Position a drain pan under the plug in the bottom of the engine and remove the plug using a proper size box end wrench or socket. Some models may have two drain plugs.

Frequent oil changes are important preventive maintenance procedures that can prevent premature engine wear. As engine oil ages, it becomes diluted and contaminated, which can lead to engine damage.

After adding new oil, you should check the oil level on the dipstick, start the engine, check for leaks, and recheck the oil level.

Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools and plenty of rags or newspapers for oil spills.
