Replacing the oil filter requires changing the engine oil. The steps for replacing the oil filter are as follows: 1. After turning off and cooling the vehicle, open the engine hood and unscrew the engine oil filler cap; 2. Lift the vehicle and unscrew the oil drain plug on the engine oil pan; 3. Use an oil bucket to collect the waste oil, wait for it to drain completely, let it sit for ten minutes, and then tighten the drain plug; 4. Lower the vehicle, remove the oil filter using tools, and replace it with a new one. The replacement interval for the oil filter varies depending on the type of oil: 1. For mineral oil, the replacement interval is 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers or six months; 2. For semi-synthetic oil, the replacement interval is 5,000 to 6,000 kilometers or six months; 3. For full synthetic oil, the replacement interval is 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers or eight months.
