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.

  2. Overall this is pretty good tutorial of how to change the oil in your vehicle but it’s very simplified. You could maybe include some details like wrench sizes for Fords it’s generally 5/8s or 15mm. Also when changing the filter you should take some of the oil and rub it around the o-ring for easier replacement in the future. Overall a well said tutorial, enjoy reading more in the future.
