You need to use Mobil 1 0w-40 8.5 quarts and use a MANN oil filter. You need a wrench cap to fit the plastic housing in the front top of the engine where the filter is at. Remove the filter assembly and replace all 3 o rings. And make sure filter is seated all the way. Then drain the oil at the bottom using a 13mm wrench and make sure you replace the cooper seal washer on the drain plug. Then reinstall. Too up the oil 8.5 quarts. Actually it's more like 8.3 so just keep checking the dipstick. Hope this information helps
