Since the oil in an aging engine breaks down and contaminates, leading to early engine wear, regular oil changes are crucial for preventative maintenance. It is advisable to replace the oil filter with a new one at every change of oils. First of all, gather the required tools for this task such as drain pan, rubber gloves, breaker bar, socket and filter wrench; clean rags and some newspapers to manage spills. Make sure that the vehicle is properly supported so that you can reach the oil drain plug and filter. To facilitate oil drainage warm up the engine. Bring up the vehicle and position a drain pan under its drain plug. Carefully get rid of old oil by undoing the plug using a spanner allowing it to drain off. After draining remove any excess oil from the plug itself wipe it clean then securely put back on it. With a catch basin underneath remove an old filter with a filter wrencher and empty out its contents. Check that both filters match or fit in corresponding places through clearing their base plates area where they are installed by lubricating new gasket with fresh motor oil before attaching it per manufacturer's tightening instructions. Lower your car then pour new oil into its opening where funnel should be used slowly while adding fresh engine fluid into empty container. Check level on dipstick after four quarts have been poured into crankcase, briefly start the engine and then perform quick recheck for leaks together with monitoring amount of oils present on those spots again. Dispose of it appropriately since old motor fluid cannot be reused.
