6 - Place the new filter on the ground and support it and fill with oil up to the bottom of the threads. It will take a few times as the oil soaks into the media. Lube the seal with your finger with clean oil.

7 - Reinstall the filter. Tighten the filter until the filter seal contacts the adapter and then tighten another 1/2 turn. Do not overtighen, you'll stretch or strip the threads and then you have a whole different animal to deal with.
8- Remove the oil filler cap and refill with the remaining oil from the 3 gals that you purchased.
9 - Wait a few minutes, check the oil level and then start the truck and check for leaks and makes sure no idiot lights come on.

10 - Let the truck cool and sit for a while and check the level again, adjust if needed. Record the mileage and, if so desired write it on the oil filter or other place.

11 - Take all the used motor oil to the recycling place and dispose of properly. (You are gonna do that.......right.
