  • Collect the tools you'll need
  • Drain bolt wrench, drain-pan, jack, jack-stands, rags, filter-pliers, cardboard, funnel, gloves
  • Check what drain bolt size and type your car uses before starting
  • For Subaru specifically, I'll be using a black Tokyo Roki LFS706 factory filter, sold by a Subaru as part # 15208AA100 with a new crush washer

Jacking up the car

  • Jack up the front of the car from the centre jack point if you have a hydraulic jack
  • Put jack-stands under pinch welds before gently lowering the car onto them
  • Check the stability of the stands before getting under the vehicle

Drain the oil

  • Climb under the car using your cardboard or a creeper
  • Remove the drain bolt slowly, adjusting the catch pan as it starts to flow to avoid spillage
  • Wait for the oil to flow from the engine

Replace the drain bolt

  • Clean the bolt
  • Remove the old crush washer if you have a new one
  • Fit the new crush washer onto the bolt
  • Clean the bolt mating flange on the cars oil pan
  • Put the bolt back into the engine and tighten to the suggested spec
  • If you don't have a torque wrench, don't over-tighten the bolt

Remove and replace the oil filter

  • Carefully adjust the now-full catch pan under the oil filter
  • Remove the old oil filter, using pliers or a wrench if required
  • If it's too tight and you don't have the right tools, you can hammer a screwdriver through the side and rotate it... But hope you have the right replacement!
  • I like large oil filter pliers, as they can be used also for brake jobs
  • The filter will be full of oil so place on your drain pan or carefully upright if your pan has no place for it
  • After the car mounting flange stops dripping a lot, prepare the new filter with a smear of oil on its gasket
  • Be 100% sure you've removed the old gasket before installing the new filter
  • Wipe down the mounting flange on the engine, and screw on the new filter by hand, 3/4 of a turn past when it touches the gasket

Remove pan and lower car

  • Carefully slide the now-full catch pan from under the car
  • Lift the car slightly and pull away the jack stands
  • Carefully lower the car to the ground
  • Push the front of the car down a few times to reset the suspension

Fill the car with oil

  • If your drain pan has gradations you can guess approximately how much oil to put in
  • Or if your manual has a listing
  • My car takes AROUND 4.5 litres
  • Using a funnel, pour in 3.5 litres or so
  • Check the dipstick with your rag
  • If you hold the large oil bottles sideways they won't glug as much
  • Fill until near top of range on dipstick
  • Re-check there are no loose tools or rags in the engine bay, and start the engine for 10 to 20 seconds

Check for leaks and top up

  • After running the car for a few seconds, turn it off
  • Check the level again
  • The oil filter should be full now, so the level might be lower
  • Top up as required
  • Check under the car for leaks

Cleanup

  • If you used all your oil you should be able to use the empty bottle to put the used oil in
  • Funnel and lots of patience to transfer the oil from the catch pan to the empty bottle
  • You can drop off the old oil at car part places or some mechanics
  • Run the car around the block or so to get a temperature cycle and recheck level and leaks
  • DONE
