How to Change Oil in a Car
Are you
tired of paying a lot just to get your oil changed? By replacing the oil and oil
filter yourself, you will lower your car maintenance costs.
First, you
will need to get the right filter and oil for your car. Next, put an oil pan that will catch the oil,
under the filter. After that, loosen the
old filter and let it drain. Make sure
none of the oil is going down a flat piece of metal. Remove the filter entirely and let it drain
some more. Make sure you put the
oil pan under the oil plug. Now pull the
plug. This drains the engine of
oil. You have removed everything that
needs to be removed. You are now half way through.
Next,
replace the oil filter. Make sure that
it is on tight. Do not take the oil filter out of the box until you are ready to put
it on. The filter will get dirty and reduce the
lifetime of your filter.
Lastly, you
will need to refill the oil. Open the
oil container lid and set the lid down.
Very carefully, pour the oil into the hole. You will need more than one bottle. Most bottles will sit right in there.
You have
now changed the oil on your car. Make
sure you go in order. First, you remove
the old filter. Second, you replace the filter.
Last, refill the oil. If you
follow the steps you will inexpensively and easily change your filter.
