On a car, the oil filter should be replaced when the oil is changed. First, drain the crankcase. Then, using an oil filter wrench, remove the old filter, having a receptacle underneath it to catch the drip (it is full of oil). Use a rag to clean the surface that the oil filter's gasket rests against. Take the new filter, and fill it to the top with oil - once. You will see the oil "disappear" as the filter medium soaks it up, but don't fill it a second time. Oil the new gasket on the oil filter with fresh oil. Spin it on, and tighten by hand 3/4 of a turn. Refill the crankcase, run the engine and check for leaks.
