While the engine is running, collect the oil carefully to prevent splashing, especially avoid getting oil on the ignition system as it can easily cause a fire. Locate the fuel pump relay, use a wire to bypass the fuel pump relay to activate the fuel pump, and collect the oil from the engine's fuel inlet pipe.

I used to change the oil at home myself. First, make sure the car has cooled down for a while to avoid burning your hands. Find a slope or use a jack to lift the car safely—safety first. Crawl under the car and locate the oil pan drain bolt, then loosen it gently with a wrench, making sure to place a large oil pan underneath to catch the old oil. Once loosened, the oil will pour out. Wait until it’s mostly drained before tightening it back. Oh, and don’t forget to replace the oil filter—just don’t overtighten it. Never dump the old oil randomly; I always take it to an auto repair shop for recycling—it’s eco-friendly and saves money. The whole process takes about half an hour. Regular oil changes keep the engine more durable and the ride smoother. If oil spills on the ground, clean it up promptly.

What are the methods to check if a car is burning oil?

Methods to check if a car is burning oil are: 1. Check if the exhaust pipe emits blue smoke when starting the engine; 2. After turning off the engine, check if there is sticky black sediment inside the exhaust pipe; 3. Inspect the spark plugs for carbon deposits. The reasons for a car burning oil are: 1. Poor fuel quality; 2. Corrosion and aging of the valve oil seal. Solutions for a car burning oil are: 1. Replace with higher-quality fuel; 2. Replace the valve oil seal. Burning oil in a car causes the engine to produce a large amount of carbon deposits and gum, leading to increased fuel consumption, insufficient power, difficulty starting, severe wear, and affecting the engine's cooling system, which can result in cylinder scuffing.

Is Engine Oil the Same as Transmission Fluid?

Engine oil and transmission fluid are not the same. The difference between them lies in their functions: engine oil is the lubricant for the engine system, possessing certain properties such as oxidation resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion prevention. Transmission fluid, on the other hand, is primarily used to keep the gear system clean, ensuring the transmission operates properly and extending the lifespan of the transmission components. The method for changing transmission fluid is as follows: 1. Start the engine to preheat the transmission to operating temperature; 2. Remove the drain plug; 3. After draining the old fluid, reinstall the plug; 4. Add new transmission fluid; 5. Start the engine, shift from P to N, D, L1, and L2 repeatedly, staying in each gear for at least 5 seconds; 6. Check if the automatic transmission fluid level is normal.
