Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure compatibility by checking your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct oil specification (5W40) and manufacturer approvals. Before changing your oil, gather the necessary tools: a wrench, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, funnel, and new oil filter.
- Warm up the engine to operating temperature.
- Place the drain pan under the oil drain plug.
- Remove the oil drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely.
- Remove the oil filter.
- Install the new oil filter (pre-lubricating the rubber gasket).
- Replace the drain plug with a new crush washer.
- Add the correct amount of Valvoline SynPower 5W40 oil.
- Check the oil level with the dipstick and top off as needed.
- Dispose of used oil and filter responsibly at a recycling center.
*Important Note:* Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific oil change intervals and any other recommendations.
