3. Replace Oil Filter (if necessary)

• Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter.
• Apply a thin layer of new oil to the rubber gasket of the new filter.
• Install the new oil filter, tightening it according to the manufacturer’s specifications (usually hand-tight plus a ¼ turn).

4. Inspect and Replace Oil Pressure Sending Unit (if faulty)

• Locate the oil pressure sending unit, usually near the oil filter or engine block.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the sending unit.
• Use a wrench to remove the unit from the engine.
• Install the new oil pressure sending unit, ensuring to tighten it according to specifications.
• Reconnect the electrical connector.

5. Check Oil Pump Operation (if necessary)
