Q: How to change engine oil and oil filter for Buick Skylark,Oldsmobile Omega and Pontiac Phoenix?
A: Home mechanics are advised to frequently change oil as the best form of preventive repair. With age, engine oil becomes diluted and contaminated which results in premature wear of parts. One is advised to replace the oil filter with every new batch because it is cheap and easy to fix. The tools necessary for an oil and filter change include a wrench for removing the drain plug, an oil-filter wrench, a container for draining out the old oil, and finally a funnel or can spout for adding fresh oil. Have clean rags and newspapers available in case of spills, and ensure that you have proper support so that you can work under your vehicle safely. You should find out about where drain plug is situated as well as where the oil filters are located before starting on changing oils. Once warmed up lift the car for access underneath then place a drain pan below the drain plug. Slowly open the drain plug allowing all of the old oil to run out. Clean off any remaining dirt around the hole with clean rags before screwing back in tight into position again so that no leaks would occur later when turning over again! Positioning a drainer beneath an old filter take it off using a suitable device like pliers or something similar… make sure that you use another one just exactly as good like what was used with it before; wipe away excess lubricant from mounting area putting some thin coat on top joint surface afterward; following maker's directions install new cartridge into engine block wherein such things would be required-turn clockwise after reaching ¾ further though small number being threaded by operator should also be noted here… It's time now go down lower section where at least three quarts must get poured via this channel or else opening marked "FILLER CAP" until full; after leaving awhile please watch attentively whether most has already gone down onto bottom compartment level within dipstick handle … Run engine for short period while keeping eyes fixed primarily upon leakage around pipe joint and drain plug areas; what is more, turn it off then come back in one hour or so again but check the measurement after completing next task in paragraph above just as described by conditioning code states-if necessary put some more into system… When oil has passed all over filter and level of is correct top up any missing amounts besides that go through a few trips after doing this maintenance operation. Old oil should be handed over to an oil recycle plant, garage firm or petrol station for proper disposal.
