I’m not sure what type of filter to get at AutoZone.

Hi,

The oil filter on this vehicle is a cartridge filter. If you look at the first pic below, I attached a pic of what it will look like. Pic 2 shows the part number on the box. If you go to AutoZone, they will need to cross reference it to one of their brand filters.

The remaining pics are the directions for the procedure. When you install the new O-ring on the oil filter cap, make sure to lubricate it with motor oil before installing it.

Also, here is a link that explains how in general to change the oil. The filter on the vehicle in the link is very similar to what you will see on your vehicle:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
