2004 Buick Rendezvous Oil Pump

You should lightly oil the replacement Oil Filter gasket with clean oil and install the new oil filter, install the new oil filter and the engine oil drain plug, remove the oil drain pan, lower the vehicle and fill the engine with new engine oil.

You should raise and suitably support the vehicle, remove the oil filter, remove the oil filter bypass hole plug, insert a flat-bladed tool into the oil filter bypass hole and force the bypass valve out, remove the oil filter bypass valve and remove the Oil Filter Adapter.

You need to remove the oil pan and the gasket, remove the filter, remove the lip ring seal pressed into the case only if replacement is necessary, then inspect the screen for any metal particles, clutch-facing material, rubber particles, or engine coolant, then determine the source of the contamination if foreign material is evident, and clean the screen and allow the screen to dry completely.
