How to change your oil <<56k grab a 40oz>>

The newbie's guide to chaging your oil

The process is quite simple, even you can do it.

Things you'll need:
  • oil change pan
  • 3.5 quarts of oil
  • oil filter
  • 17mm socket wrench
  • funnel
  • rags
First step: Gather materials (pictured below)


Second step: Jack your car up on both sides if possible (pictured below)


Third step: Locate the oil drain plug underneath the car, plugged into the oil pan (pictured below)


Fourth step: Move your oil change pan under the drain plug, grab your 17mm socket wrench and get that baby out of there... let the oil drain into the pan and try not to get any on your clothes... (pictured below)


Fifth step: Get under the car and twist the old oil filter off with your hands. If you can't, they make a clamp that fits around the end and assists you in getting it off (pictured below)


Sixth step: Reinsert the drain plug after all the dirty oil has been drained. Open your oil cap and get the funnel in there. Pour 3.5 quarts of fresh 5W30 oil in that sucker (pictured below)




Seventh step: Put the cap back on the valve cover, run your motor, turn it off and let the oil settle, then check your oil via dipstick and insert oil accordingly (pictured below)


After all of this, take your car out for a spin and make sure everything is working properly.
You're good to go 8)
