To my surprise not many people do one important thing when they change their oil. It can be very detremental to your engine if you put a new EMPTY oil filter on it. Just for those who didn't know make sure you fill up your new oil filter with some of that new clean oil before you put it back on. Stay inbetween 3.5 and 4.0 and you'll be perfect.
