Learn how to change your oil in just a few steps so you can keep your car running smoothly on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-changing-your-oil\">The Importance of Changing Your Oil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your car\u2019s oil helps your engine run smoothly, extends its lifespan, and improves your vehicle&#8217;s performance. In addition, learning how to change your motor oil empowers you to take control of your car&#8217;s maintenance, saving hundreds of dollars in service fees over the lifetime of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-need\">What You Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To change your oil, you&#8217;ll need the following items:<br>\u2022 Motor oil<br>\u2022 Oil filter<br>\u2022 Oil drain plug wrench<br>\u2022 Oil filter wrench<br>\u2022 Drain pan<br>\u2022 Funnel<br>\u2022 Gloves and rags for cleanup<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right oil and filter can help maintain your engine&#8217;s health, so consult your car&#8217;s manual to see which specifications are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-your-oil-change\">Starting Your Oil Change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start, consult your owner\u2019s manual for any additional information about your vehicle\u2019s oil. Afterward, follow these steps to complete your oil change:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-prepare-your-vehicle\">1. Prepare Your Vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Park on a flat surface. Change your oil on stable ground to prevent liquid from pooling on one side of your engine.<br>2. Warm up the engine. Run your car for a few minutes before starting to help the oil flow more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-drain-the-old-oil\">2. Drain the Old Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Locate the drain plug. Under your car, find the oil pan and its drain plug.<br>2. Place the drain pan. Ensure your drain pan is large enough to catch the old oil and position it under your plug.<br>3. Remove the drain plug. Using your wrench, carefully unscrew the drain plug and let the oil completely drain out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/going-places\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-to-Change-Your-Own-Oil-Drain-Oil.jpg\" alt=\"Oil from car engine maintenance service \/ draining oil from car\" class=\"wp-image-4754\" style=\"width:630px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-replace-the-oil-filter\">3. Replace the Oil Filter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Remove the old oil filter. Use your oil filter wrench to unscrew the old filter while being cautious of old oil.<br>2. Prepare the new filter. Lightly oil the gasket of the new filter for a better seal.<br>3. Install the new filter. Screw in the new filter by hand and make sure it&#8217;s secure but not overly tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/going-places\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-to-Change-Your-Own-Oil-Oil-Filter-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Replacing the oil filter on a car.

Add New Oil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Replace the drain plug. Once all the old oil has drained, replace the drain plug and tighten it.<br>2. Add new oil. Using your funnel, pour the new oil into the engine through the oil filler hole. Check your manual for the correct amount.<br>3. Check the oil level. After filling, use the dipstick to ensure your oil is at the correct level and add more if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegeneral.com\/going-places\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/How-to-Change-Your-Own-Oil-Replace-Oil-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"oil change \/ replacing car engine oil\" class=\"wp-image-4756\" style=\"width:630px\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-finish-up\">5. Finish Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Start your car. Let your vehicle run for a few minutes after your oil change to let the new oil circulate.<br>2. Check for leaks. Check under your car for any signs of leaks. If everything looks good, you&#8217;ve successfully changed your oil!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to change your own oil is a valuable skill that can help you save money and understand your vehicle better. By following these steps, you&#8217;ll help your engine stay lubricated and running efficiently. Remember, regular maintenance, including oil changes, is key to prolonging the life of your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to regular oil changes, car insurance is another aspect of responsible car ownership.
