Lower the car to facilitate the oil to completely pour out.
Screw off the oil filter cap (HEX M27).

Screw on the new oil filter with its O-ring.

Tip: smear a dab of oil on the O-ring in order to prevent it from seizing when it is tightened.

Tip: clean the thread and inspect the O-ring.
Lower the car.
