  • Jack up the front of the Dodge Durango, and install a jack stand. Block the rear wheels.
  • Remove the oil plug and let the oil drain into a pan, being sure to remove as much of the old oil as possible.
  • Loosen the bolts holding the oil pan with a socket wrench, and remove the bolts with your fingers. Remove the oil filter, starter motor, cooler lines, oil level sensor, heated oxygen sensor connector and exhaust y-pipe, and then take off the oil pan.
  • Scrape off the old gasket with a thin putty knife, being very careful not to scrape the surface. Be sure all of the old gasket is removed, then wipe the surface with solvent. Spread a bit of oil on the surface to promote adhesion, and apply the new gasket.
  • Replace the oil pan, exhaust y-pipe, heated oxygen sensor connector, oil level sensor, cooler lines and starter motor, and install a new oil filter.
  • Raise the vehicle slightly with the jack and slide out the jack stand before lowering the vehicle and removing the jacks.
  • Fill the engine with the appropriate amount of oil. Check the level with the dipstick to be sure you have the right amount.
Good luck and hope this helps.
