  Q: How to replace the engine oil and oil filter on Buick Lucerne?

  A:

  Vehicle elevation is the first step to manage engine oil replacement and Oil Filter change. Connect a drain pan in the proper position beneath the Oil Pan drainage plug before removing the plug to let all oil drain out. The procedure for replacing and inspecting the Oil Pan Drain Plug starts with cleaning it before installation of a new plug when needed alongside replacement of the Oil Pan when sealing surface issues occur. Reinstall the Drain Plug tightly into its hole while wiping off all residual oil. Place a suitable drain pan beneath the Oil Filter and carefully detach the filter while maintaining the gasket on the original filter. The gasket needs removal from the adapter before beginning this step. Place new Oil Filter gasket with engine oil and tighten the new Oil Filter following its contact with the adapter until it reaches 3/4 to 1 full turn. After tightening the Drain Plug to 30 nm (22 ft-lbs) remove the positioning pan gradually from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle should be lowered before adding new engine oil to the tank. Begin the engine then check for any oil leakages. Per the maintenance procedure enable engine shutdown then make the oil flow return to the Oil Pan while time elapses. Replace the nozzle into the tube aperture, wipe away residue using a towel before returning the indicator until the handle touches the surface of the tube. Chances to remove the oil level indicator while keeping the tip facing downwards so you can inspect the oil base. Check the oil level and control it by putting in or taking away oil before inspecting any signs of leakage from the system.
