Solution

1. Preparation

Tools Required:
- Oil filter wrench
- Socket set
- Torque wrench
- Oil drain pan
- Funnel
- Rags or paper towels
Parts Required:
- Engine oil (5W-30 or as specified in the owner's manual)
- New oil filter
Safety Warnings:
- Allow the engine to cool slightly before starting the oil change to avoid burns.
- Ensure the vehicle is securely supported if lifted.

2. Draining Old Oil

Position the oil drain pan under the oil pan.
Remove the oil drain plug using the appropriate socket.
Allow the old oil to completely drain into the pan (approximately 15-20 minutes).
Reinstall the oil drain plug and tighten it to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).

3. Replacing the Oil Filter

Using the oil filter wrench, remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some residual oil to spill.
Prepare the new oil filter by applying a thin layer of new oil to the rubber gasket.
Install the new oil filter by hand, tightening it until it is snug, then an additional 3/4 turn.

4. Adding New Oil

Remove the oil filler cap on the engine.
Using a funnel, pour the new engine oil into the engine (typically around 6.5 quarts for the G70; check the owner’s manual for exact capacity).
Replace the oil filler cap securely.

5. Final Checks

Start the engine and let it run for a minute, checking for leaks around the oil filter and drain plug.
Turn off the engine and allow it to sit for a minute, then check the oil level using the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
Dispose of the old oil and oil filter properly at a recycling center.
