How to Change Car Oil by Yourself?
1 Answers
The steps for changing engine oil are as follows: 1. First, start the car engine and let it run until the water temperature reaches the normal operating range before shutting it off. This allows the oil to circulate fully within the engine, helping to flush out any impurities. 2. Next, use a car lift to raise the vehicle. If a lift is not available, a jack can be used as an alternative, although it may be less convenient to operate. 3. Then, use the vehicle's toolkit to loosen the oil pan bolt and use a specialized wrench to open the oil filter. Note that the oil flow from the drain port is slow, so this is a good time to open the filter for secondary drainage. 4. Finally, after all the old oil has drained completely, use a wrench to install the new oil filter and pour the appropriate amount of oil (meeting specifications) into the oil pan.
