The procedure for changing the oil  and filter is
as follows:
5.
Remove the oil filter. You should be able to
unscrew the  filter with your  hands. (If your
hands  are slippery,  try to  use  a cloth  be-
tween  your  hands  and  the   filter  to  give
yourself a better grip.) A certain amount of oil
will come out when you remove the filter, so
be  sure  to have  your  drain  pan  in  place
underneath it.
Replace the cap  by turning it  clockwise.
1.  Park  the car  on  level ground  and set  the
parking  brake. Start  the  engine  and let  it
warm  up  until  the needle  on  the  coolant
temperature gauge moves above the lowest
mark. Turn the engine off and place the gear
selector lever in  "P" (automatic) or reverse
gear  (manual  transaxle).  Set  the  parking
brake.
The distance between  the "FULL" and  "LOW"
marks is equal to about  1 quart of oil.
6.
Install a new oil filter in accordance with the
instructionsonthecartonoronthefilteritself.
Do not  over-tighten.

Kathryn on Apr 27, 2015. I'm having nothing but trouble

I bought this used and the battery isn't completely dead but it won't start and my key won't work in the trunk to get to the spare tire, because I also have a flat.
