Can You Still Drive When the Car Indicates an Oil Change?

[DeTessa]

You can still drive when the car indicates an oil change, but avoid driving long distances and replace the oil as soon as possible. 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 for two minutes at the oil filler port, tighten the drain plug after draining, and wipe it with a tissue to check for leaks; 3. Reinstall the undercover, lower the car, and use a funnel to add new oil through the filler port. Precautions for changing the oil include: 1. Perform the change when the engine is warm to ensure complete drainage of old oil; 2. Ensure the correct amount of oil is added; 3. Start the engine after adding oil to check for leaks in all components; 4. After running the engine for 3 minutes, confirm the oil level is within the normal range.
