2002 Buick Regal Oil Filter Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on 2002 Buick Regal?

  A: The replacement of engine oil and Oil Filter requires raising and supporting the vehicle at the start. Set the oil drain pan under the engine oil Drain Plug before unplugging it. Drain Plug inspection shows need to replace or repair it while Oil Pan sealing surfaces need the same evaluation for replacement where necessary. After you remove the Oil Filter you need to clean its adapter sealing area followed by necessary adapter repair or replacement. Before attaching the new Oil Filter put a dab of clean oil onto the gasket then proceed to tighten it to a quarter to a full turn past when the gasket touches its mounting surface. Install the engine oil Drain Plug to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) torque then remove both the drain pan and raise the vehicle back to normal height. Following the new engine oil addition the motor should be started while also checking for any oil leak occurrence. Let the motor run idle while the drained oil returns into the bottom oil reservoir for several minutes. Secure the paper towel-cleaned oil level indicator back into position until the handle reaches the top of the tube. Look at the oil level by removing the indicator a second time while keeping the tip pointed downward. Your next step involves checking oil leaks while you also maintain the proper oil level by adding or draining oil from the vehicle.
