What are the steps to replace a car oil filter?

[VonHector]

Replacing a car oil filter involves the following steps: 1. Remove the plastic film cover from the oil filter; then place the oil filter wrench over the head of the oil filter and rotate it to remove the oil filter. 2. To prevent oil spillage, the filter should be removed with its opening facing upwards; install the new oil filter onto the engine by hand, screwing it in and giving it a final firm twist to secure it. Additional Information: During engine operation, metal shavings, dust, oxidized carbon deposits and colloidal deposits formed under high temperatures, water, and other contaminants continuously mix with the lubricating oil. The purpose of the oil filter is to remove these mechanical impurities and colloids, maintaining the cleanliness of the lubricating oil and extending its service life. A good oil filter should have strong filtration capability, low flow resistance, and a long service life.
