Old school baby! The cartridge filter has a bolt on the bottom of the cartridge that is removed and it then makes a big mess by spilling dirty oil all over the side of the pan, BE PREPARED. Have a big enough catch pan to get under it with and then of course you will pull the oil pan plug and dispose of the oil in the engine. Install your cartridge filter and pour six qts. of liquid dinosaur into the engine, start the engine and check for leaks.
