Oil Change
One thing which needs doing to vehicles on a regular basis is an oil change. This job can also be one of the dirtiest performed on a car, and there is also the concern of disposing of any dirty oil and oil filter.
Making an Oil Change
-
-
- Check the manufacturer’s oil type, and the amount
- Get together your new oil filter, wrenches, and other supplies.
- Prepare your vehicle.
- Locate the oil filter and drain plug (underneath your vehicle).
- Drain the oil into a suitable container.
- Re-tighten the drain plug.
- Change the oil filter (on occasion, these need a filter wrench).
- Add the new oil, let sit and then check oil levels.
- Run the engine and then let sit again.
- Give a final check of the oil level.

What Vehicle Parts Does Oil Lubricate
Oil Pan – This is the holding position for the oil as it drains to the lowest part of the engine.
Oil Filter – This is what filters all the contaminants from the oil as it circulates around the engine. If this is blocked, you could suffer from high oil pressure, and when this happens. Something will blow.
Oil Pump – This creates the correct pressure to pump your oil around your engine.
Moving Parts – bearing, pistons, valves all need oil to operate.
