Oil change on a regular basis is an essential part of preventive vehicle maintenance, which is aimed at avoiding premature wearing out of the engine. It is recommended to replace the oil filter with every engine oil change. Before you start, gather all necessary tools and materials that will be needed for cleaning up any spills such as clean rags and newspapers. Ensure that the car is safely raised off the ground using ramps or jack stands, but never just a jack. Know where the oil drain plug and oil filter are located in your car. Warm up the engine and let it run for about five minutes so that oil drains better from it. When warm, lift and properly secure the vehicle. Lower yourself down to your back once you are through with this operation, place the drain pan below your position then remove drain plug very cautiously with appropriate wrench enabling oil to flow into pan. Wipe and clean drain plug before reinstalling it again on its place. Next, put a drain pan beneath the old oil filter, unscrew it by using an oil filter wrench till completely empty of residue then lower it to touch ground slowly. Ensure they are same type by comparing both new one and old filter side by side Clean this area if dirty while putting new gasket on lubricate it with clean oil; hand tight per the manufacturer's instructions Screw down the vehicle until it reaches its initial position before lifting it out of its position during repair process Reach in to open engine compartment Find an opening on top of the engine where one can pour some fresh oil into Put enough quantity then check dipstick for level keeping in mind that few seconds when starting motor will also allow new to circulate Re-examine what you have done checking level, leaks etc Do not be surprised especially after doing everything correctly on your first few trips following an overhaul of an automobile since leakage may still occur properly dispose these items locally without pouring them away.

Warm the engine to its normal operating temperature, as warm oil drains more effectively. Once the engine is warm, raise and secure the vehicle properly.
