How to Do an Oil Change

Hi my name is Gavin Haubris have you ever needed an oil change but don’t have enough money to pay someone else to do it well here I am going to show and tell you the easiest way to do it by yourself.

Underneath the vehicle you will find an oil plug as shown in the video. Put the drip pan under the plug to catch the oil when draining. Use the 15mm wrench to loosen and remove the plug. The oil will drain out of the hole.

Use the filter wrench to remove the oil filter. The wrench goes around the oil filter and pull the handle to loosen the oil filter. There will be oil in the filter so the drain it in the drip pan then throw it away.

After the oil has stopped flowing out of the plug hole twist the plug back in and use the wrench to tighten it.

Get a little bit of oil on a finger and take the new filter and rub the oil on the black rubber seal on the open end of the filter. This creates a seal when tightening. Screw the new filter on where the old filter came off and tighten it with your hand as tight as you can get it.

Open the hood and on the motor will be a lid for engine oil. Remove lid and dump the 5quarts of 5W-30 in the hole. Or whatever your vehicle is recommended to take 

Start the pickup for a minute then shut it off.

Near where the oil was poured into will be an oil dipstick. This shows how much oil you have in your motor. Pull it out, wipe it off, and put it back in the hole. Pull it out again this time look at the end and there will be a full line or range, the oil should be on the line. If not add another 1/2 quart of oil.
