Use caution, these instructions are meant to be a guide, if you are not qualified or comfortable doing this maintenance on your own contact a qualified mechanic.   


  INSTRUCTIONS

  • First, remove the skid plate, if there is one installed on your truck, by removing the 3 phillips head screws or 10mm socket.
  • Next, remove the 5 2" long bolts holding the ski plate into place using a 12mm socket. You’ll need to push the whole skid up and slide it towards the driver side then release and it should come down.

  • Once the ski plate is removed, locate the oil filter and bulk oil drain bolt

  • Using 14 mm socket loosen the oil drain bolt. Once the oil is drained, tighten the bolt back into the hole.  Be prepared, the oil comes out really fast, the oil catch pan may not do the trick, a 5 gallon bucket may be better than covering your driveway with oil.

  • Next use a 3/8” extension to loosen the oil filter drain bolt.

After draining all the oil out of the filter, wipe the area off. Make sure you not to damage the gasket if you plan on using it again. Then using a 65/67 mm 14 flute oil wrench and 3/8” extension, twist the cap off.

 

Remove the old oil filter and replace it with the new one. If you plan to change the gasket, do it now. Twist the lower assembly that holds the filter on taking care not to cross-thread. Then use your oil filter wrench to twist it tight. Make sure to put your oil filter drain bolt back on (make sure the gasket it on the lower assembly, then put the bolt on). Once everything is tight, fill your engine up with the motor oil of your choice and check your oil level on the dipstick.

Start your engine after filling and let it run for 2-3 minutes. Make sure you oil pressure is in the operating range. Check for leaks.

Replace the skid plate. Above are the holes you’ll need to align the hooks of the skid with. Make sure to have the plastic tabs of the front bumper overlapping the skid, otherwise the skid won’t go back into place. Then using the reverse process of removal, hand install the rear bolts into the skid, working your way forward taking care not to cross-thread the bolts. Then tighten the bolts. Finally tighten the screws; watch not to over tighten the screws as it’ll strip the plastic holders on the skid (which can be replaced if you do happen to strip them).

 

To reset your maintenance reminder system, you’ll need to turn your key to on (but don’t start!) and make sure your odometer is on TRIP A. Then key off. Press and hold the Odometer/Trip button. While holding down on the button, key the ignition to on (Don’t start the engine!) The display panel will count down from “------“ to “-“Continue pressing the button until the Trip A is displayed. After this step, you are done.
