1. To get started you will first need to make a trip to the parts store to grab roughly five quarts of oil, a oil filter, and ask for a mileage tag. Getting the cheapest oil doesn’t necessarily mean saving because it could get better gas mileage with better oil so talk with a part store rep.
2. You will need a car jack or floor ramps. You will need an oil wrench, a ratchet, and socket (usually you will need a 14–15mm), and then you need a oil pan to drain old oil into.
3. You need now to jack up the car or drive it on to the car ramps. pop the hood and unscrew your oil cap. Get underneath it with the wrench and socket. find the drain plug, and get your socket that fits the plug and go counter clock wise with your wrench. Once loose remove the plug and let drain into your oil pan. Once the running oil stops put the plug back in and tighten it with socket wrench turning it clockwise.
4. Now get back under neath your car with your oil wrench and find your fuel filter, fitting your oil wrench around it, twist counter clockwise, remove the filter. Rub the top of your new filter with a light coat of oil, following by hand screwing filter around fitting to get it started, once started snug it with your oil wrench by twisting it clockwise.
5. Time to put your oil in, start by pouring four quarts in, after you have four quarts init, check your dip stick and add additional oil as needed.
6. Ok now its time to pull the car down off the ramps. Making sure your dip is reading full you can close the hood. Put all your tools back in a place were you no were to get them for the next time. Dump your used oil into a barrel or bucket, waiting until filled to take to a registered place to take the oil.
7. Now, before you start driving get your mileage tag that you got at the part store and read your odometer. Having the car mileage add three thousand mile and that’s when your next service change is. (example beginning mileage 67,867 next service mileage 70,867.
8. The last thing left is to get in your car stick your key in the ignition and turn it right. You are now able to move about the country.
