Without a pit or lift, the method for changing engine oil is to go to a car 4S shop or a repair shop for an oil change, which can solve the problem. The following are the precautions for changing engine oil: 1. Environmental issues: High temperatures, extreme cold, and dusty environments can all accelerate the deterioration of engine oil. For example, in high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, using high-viscosity oil is beneficial for forming an oil film and reducing engine wear. 2. The oil change interval should be appropriately shortened: Car owners should not only choose the appropriate grade and viscosity of oil according to the environment but also appropriately shorten the oil change interval. Specific requirements depend on the situation, and it is generally advisable to shorten the interval by 1/5 to 1/3.
