I use an extension and swivel. I put the new O ring on the oil filter cap. Fifth, I install the new filter onto the cap. I'm not sure about your model with some Encore years, GM used two different oil filters. Your cap will tell you which one to use (UFI v. Hengst). Make sure you get the right one.

Replacing the filter is a pain. I have a 2013 Traverse. But I have found a way to do it without spilling oil or making a mess.
