Learn in an easy way and step by step how to change the oil and oil filter in your car.
The first thing to do before you get to change the oil in your car is to check that you have everything you need to make the change. An adjustable wrench for oil filter (metal tape), a set of wrenches, screwdrivers two plastic drums which we will take the oil, a funnel and some rags or paper to clean, plus the oil needed for our car and new oil filter that we will add.
Once we have all the tools necessary to change the oil in our car, the first thing to do is make sure our car is parked on a plain, never do the oil change with parked on a slope or ramp car.
Proceed to remove the covers that protect the underside of the car, whenever I needed to change the oil, because depending on the car model and manufacturer will be no need. We can help a jack to lift the car and remove the housing to more easily.
After removing the cover, you will have access to the plug through which we can remove the old oil. The plug must be located at the bottom of the rear of the engine or gearbox. Before unscrewing the cap to extract the oil, we should place right under the plug, drum or container for the oil to go down on him and then store it in another container and taken to a recycling center.
Tip: If the engine is hot the oil is much more dilute everything goes perfect, if it is cold out and it costs a lot does not empty well. Be careful if you remove the hot oil as it can be burned.
Before removing the oil cap, extract the oil filter wrench helping metal band, although in some cases it is not necessary since we can remove it with your hands. Loosen the oil filter counterclockwise to clockwise, once you've unscrewed very carefully, because the filter will be full of oil, remove and empty the contents into the container.
Now proceed to remove the oil cap will fall for this old oil. For better extraction is also recommended to unscrew the top cap of the oil, where we will take the new oil.
We must wait a few minutes while the oil goes. Once we have extracted all the oil proceed to put the new oil filter and replace the cap with where we drain the oil. It is recommended to replace the washer that comes with the oil screw, provided that it.
Once we have placed the oil filter and closed the outlet of the oil, proceed to fill the engine with new oil, for it can help a funnel to pour the oil no. We will slowly pouring the oil to not spend the oil level. As we go we go throwing checking the oil level with the dipstick.
Once you have successfully completed the oil, proceed to place the lower case again. After placement we can re-check the oil level to make sure everything is correct.
Since we can only pour oil we have collected in the drum, other airtight container for later taken to a workshop or a clean point, as this type of oil is highly polluting.
Do not forget to note the number of miles your car has a role and the tasks performed (change oil and filter) to know when you must change again.
