How Long Does It Take to Change Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Changing engine oil typically takes about 15 minutes. The steps for changing engine oil are as follows: 1. Start the car engine to allow the oil to circulate fully within the engine and carry away impurities; 2. Use a car lift to raise the vehicle; 3. Unscrew the oil pan bolt and remove the oil filter; 4. After all the old oil has completely drained, install the new oil filter and pour in the new oil. The oil change interval is generally 5,000 kilometers for conventional oil, 7,500 kilometers for semi-synthetic oil, and 10,000 kilometers for full-synthetic oil. Engine oil serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption for the engine.
