The vehicles come with the oil life indicator system that tells you when to change the oil, so it normally allows more time between oil changes than the common 3,000 miles' regular prescription. However, it is better to replace the oil more often but should always be done before attaining 10,000 miles as this helps in extending engine life. Every time you change your oil you have to replace your filter in order to keep a good engine running. To get ready for an oil change process, gather all necessary tools and supplies; also arrange for rags and newspapers to clean any potential spills. This means that one has to ensure that their vehicle has been safely jacked up so that they can access its bottom side without having to go under it while relying on a jack alone. The engine needs to be warmed up followed by getting all necessary oils before locating the plug and filter for draining out the old oil. Then drain any remaining old oil into a pan, clean the drain plug, and reinstall it after wiping off all of its surfaces. Apply some light coating of oil on the gasket of a new filter then install it in place after washing the mounting area where the previous one was fixed. Bring down your car, pour in enough fresh oil provided on each package with reference to type and viscosity specifications as stated on its label and then check levels of oils before starting an engine for few seconds whereby leakages can be noticed if any present among them. Dispose of old oil properly by recycling it at an authorized facility. After each oil change, reset Oil Life Monitor (if applicable) following specific steps depending on whether your vehicle has DIC buttons or not.

Before beginning the oil change, you should gather necessary tools and materials and ensure the engine is warm for efficient oil drainage. This ensures that the oil flows easily during the oil change process.

The oil filter should be replaced with every oil change to ensure optimal engine performance.

The vehicle should be safely elevated for access to the underside, but avoid working under it while supported solely by a jack.

Regular oil changes and maintenance are essential for engine longevity and performance because they help keep the engine lubricated with clean oil, prevent premature wear, and ensure the engine operates at its best. This contributes to overall vehicle reliability and efficiency.
