How to change your oil ™

First things first you need to see what kind of oil your car or truck calls for when doing a oil change. You have to also find out what kind of oil filter that your truck or car takes and you can by all of this stuff at you local auto parts store or a Walmart. The first things you want to do is lay down something on the ground so you don't accidental get oil on the ground. Then you put a oil pan under the drain plug hole. Take the drain plug out with your right size wrench and be careful not to lose the bolt and washer. Then when it is done draining from the pan. Take the oil filter out and be careful not to tip it over because it has oil and put it on the oil pan and let it drain. Install new oil filter and put the bolt back in the oil pan on the car and then it is time to put the oil back through the filler hole. once that is finish put the cap back on the filler and then start your car and let it cycle through your engine. After a few mins, check the dip stick and see if you have to add oil. After that your done.

lessons on buggie

There is things you have to know about your truck before you go bugging. you need to have at least some general knowledge of how to buggie and how to rock yourself out of a hole. The basics parts you have to replace on your truck is stuff such as air filters,bearings,and etc. when you go out there it is very fun just to trail riding. There is one thing you do not want to take on unless your truck is waterproof is water. Water is very bad for you to go through because it can go through your intake and hydro-lock your engine there is mu more information at this site,

All those trucks and barges that carry our goods to port are vital connections to the only force which can balance our trade deficit: export. We must keep doing what we do best if we are going to get America out of the red.

complexity of a car

The stuff you might not know about trucks and cars is that they use a lot of different parts to be able to run.  Engines uses gas to be combusted within the engine where then it is injected through the fuel injectors where it is then placed within the piston where it get spark from the plugs. The engine then makes the transmission work which then goes to the driveshaft which then connects by universal joints that then go into the rear differential to move the back tires that are on the axle. Then it moves the whole entire truck or car. It is very crucial to have a good battery for this starts your car and keeps your radio and other electronics on in your car. The alternator is what keeps your batteries charged up while the car is running. The radiator is pumped throughout the engine which is then cooling your engine. The water pump is what pumps it through your engine.

Welcome to teach me how to buggie
The reason why I picked this subject for my blog was the complexity of an engine. I would like to learn more about engines and how it all works in to a sequence. I would like to learn about how the engine work and all of its components order for it to exact ally make a truck work and drive.  The reason why I would like to learn this is to save money from the costly auto repair shops charge to fix a vehicle because I am more of a do-it-yourself type of guy. I like to save money every chance I get in order to enjoy more stuff that I do. I would also like to learn about how the engine works because I could help friends out with their vehicle if it was to break down or needs a replacement part to help save them some money from the auto repair shop. I know a little bit about an engine but not all of it. The only parts that I really know under the hood are alternator, starter, headers, air filters, etc. I also know a little about the drive train such as the transmission, driveshaft, rear differential, transfer case. Front differential, etc. I would like to know how mud and water can ruin all types of components under the car and would like to know trouble shooting step on finding and fixing parts on a truck. I would like to know why the gears in the differentials make such more of a difference off-road. How lockers are another addition in to the differential that you can add to get the maximum of your gears from slipping and causing you to get stock and stranded in the mud. Thanks for reading this and hopefully I can get some more advice on all of this information on engines and how it works. Thank you have a nice day J
