Can You Continue Driving When the Car Alerts for an Oil Change?

[JanelleLee]

When the car alerts for an oil change, you should not continue driving. The steps for changing the oil are: 1. Lift the car, remove the undercover, and place a container under the oil drain plug; 2. Unscrew the oil drain plug, use an air gun to blow into the oil filler port for two minutes, then tighten the drain plug and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the undercover and lower the car, then use a funnel to add new oil into the oil filler port. Precautions for changing the oil: 1. Perform the change while the engine is warm to ensure the old oil is completely drained; 2. Add the new oil and ensure the correct amount is used; 3. After adding the oil, start the engine and check all components for leaks. Run the engine for 3 minutes to confirm the oil level is at the normal mark.
