Changing the oil is a simple, but very important process. It involves draining then refilling the oil and changing the oil filter, but before starting one is going to need clean oil and a new oil filter as well as a few hand tools. Depending on what kind of car one has determines exactly what type of filter and oil one needs. Any auto parts store will gladly be of assistance in purchasing the right product for one’s vehicle. Also necessary is a drain pan, gloves, oil filter wrench, ratchet, and several assorted size sockets.
. . .
Now that the vehicle is raised, place the drain pan under the drain plug and remove the plug with the ratchet and socket. Make sure that one disposes of the oil in an environmentally friendly way as it is unlawful to throw it away or to dump it out in the back yard. Be sure to check the level following a few trips made after an oil change. Done on a regular basis it will extend the useable life of any engine, and increase peak performance, economy, and personal safety. As it is removed, immediately turn it up so that any remaining oil will not spill out. Start and run the engine until it is warm so that the oil and sludge will flow out easily. While its running, look under the car for leaks. Next, raise the vehicle and be sure to support it safely on jackstands. Stop the engine and check the dipstick to check the oil level. Run the engine for a minute to circulate the oil.
