Follow these steps carefully
FA24: 5.3 quarts (5.0L) 0W-20 with filter; the spin-on sits on TOP FRONT — no lifting to reach it. You'll need a 17mm socket, new crush washer, drain pan. Park level, brake set, chock wheels.
Warm briefly, shut off. The spin-on is at the FA24's top front, easy by hand. The undertray has an access opening for the 17mm drain bolt — the tray may stay on. Pan under the bolt.
Loosen the 17mm bolt; drain fully. Fit a NEW crush washer; tighten to 30.8 ft-lbs. Up top, unscrew the old filter (usually by hand), wipe the surface, oil the new gasket, hand-tight plus a quarter turn.
That 30.8 ft-lb number only works with a new crush washer — I've seen reused washers weep at spec because they never re-seat. A fresh washer every change; it's the cheapest part on the receipt.
Double-check bolt and filter; pour 5.3 quarts 0W-20. Wait a minute, dipstick — small splashes to full, never above. Sneak up on full with the last half-quart; the FA24 is overfill-sensitive.
The FA24's aeration issue is real — I've seen overfilled ones throw oil-pressure warnings on hard cornering. Sneak up on the full mark; the last half-quart goes in splashes, not glugs.
Run 30 seconds; check the drain bolt and top filter for leaks. Off, wait two minutes, recheck dipstick. Reset the maintenance reminder. Recheck after the first drive — the top filter can read slightly low at first.
Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
