What happens here

Locate the oil filter, which appears as a small orange cylindrical component on the side of the engine. Before removing it, prepare paper towels or rags to catch any residual oil that will drip out. Twist the old oil filter counter-clockwise by hand to remove it. Once removed, take the new Generac oil filter (Part # 070185E) and apply a small amount of new engine oil to its rubber gasket. This lubrication ensures a better seal and makes future removal easier. Thread the new filter onto its mounting point by hand until it is snug. Then, use a filter wrench or your hand to give it an additional quarter turn, ensuring it's secure but not overtightened.

Goal: Remove the old oil filter and install a new one.
