DIY oil change method: 1. Open the hood and remove the oil filler cap; 2. Locate the air filter, remove it, clean it using compressed air from an air pump, then reinstall; 3. Lift the vehicle, unscrew the drain plug, and drain the oil; 4. After the oil is completely drained, remove the oil filter; 5. When installing the new oil filter, apply a thin layer of oil around the sealing ring to prevent damage from compression, making future removal easier. Install the oil filter and tighten the oil pan drain plug, then wipe off any excess oil with a cloth; 6. Do not overfill with oil—ensure the level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. After adding oil, start the engine and let it run for three minutes, then turn it off and wait one minute. Check the oil level again using the dipstick to confirm it reaches the correct mark, completing the process.
