How to change the oil filter in a 2013 dodge dart?

Answer 1

1. Use 27mm socket and take off oil filter cap. Pull oil filter out.

2. Use 13mm socket and take out the oil plug. (7mm socket to take out small bolt holding the oil drain plug door in place).

3. Replace ring on oil filter cap with new one. Put oil filter inside cap (should snap in and hold in place) smooth end of filter down. Fresh oil around new ring then insert filter and cap. Tighten oil filter cap and torque at 25Nm or 19 lbs.

4. Replace oil drain plug bolt. Not sure on torque, just hand tighten (don't strip).

5. Fill with 5w40 Pennzoil Euro Type oil (a must as oil tolerances are tight and turbo uses engine oil to cool) 4 quarts.

6. Start vehicle for a few seconds to allow oil to work through oil filter. Turn off and check dip stick and for any leaks.
