Step 2: Drain the oil and remove the oil filter and drain for a few mins.
Step 3: (This is step optional, I wanted to clean the oil filter adapter and replace the o-rings on the oil cooler lines) Carefully remove the plastic keepers and slide them back, then use a pick to pull the c-clamp off and pull the line out of the adapter.
Step 4: Remove the 2 (1/2 inch) bolts holding the oil filter adapter on and separate the adapter from the engine
Step 5: Remove the o-ring and scrap away the old gasket
