You need to apply clean engine oil to the new Oil Filter seal, install the new oil filter, tighten the oil pan drain plug, remove the oil drain pan from under the vehicle, fill the engine with new engine oil, start the engine, inspect for oil leaks, turn off the engine and allow the oil a few minutes to drain back into the oil pan, remove the oil level indicator from the indicator tube and clean off the indicator end of the oil level indicator with a clean paper towel or cloth. Then you can install the oil level indicator into the oil level indicator tube until the oil level indicator handle contacts the top of the oil level indicator tube, remove the oil level indicator from the oil level indicator tube keeping the tip of the oil level indicator down, check the level of the engine oil on the oil level indicator, adjust the oil level by adding or draining oil, check for oil leaks and close the hood.

You need to lubricate the O-ring seal with clean engine oil, install a new O-ring seal onto the oil level indicator tube and the oil level indicator tube between the exhaust manifold and engine block, insert the oil level indicator tube into the block and install the oil level indicator tube bolt, the wheelhouse liner, and the oil level indicator.
