Funny dramatization scene haha but you're right Andy! I used to pay $45/oil change at my local shop. After going there twice I wanted to learn to change it myself and save money, and I've been changing it myself for the past four years at no more than $23-$24/oil change. That's almost half price! And I can guarantee that my car gets the oil I want to put in it.

I am learning these things on my own so I can do it myself when I need to. I am 16 and know nothing abt vehicles but I'm trying to learn by myself bc I can prove to people I can learn on my own if I have the will to do it.

I'm just learning how to become a mechanic so thank you so much for your professional guides man, I really appreciate it😎👍🏻

Good tip about pan location. A friend drained the transmission fluid on his wife's car by accident. Was in a hurry he said. Boy did that cost him after he filled it with engine oil. First and last time he has changed the oil by himself 😝.

I’m a lady and this is good info…easy to understand, will definitely buy all the tool you listed down and try this on my own. Always wanted to be a mechanic haha.

I feel like you're overcomplicating it...

Oil drain 101.
1. Use a socket 1 size too big.
2. Strip plug corners.
3. Change to correct socket.
4. Loosen plug, taking care to hit knuckles against sharp metal edge.
5. Unscrew plug carefully by hand.
6. Drop plug into drain pan, ensuring whole hand and arm gets covered in oil.
7. Hastily reposition drain pan so that oil shoots over it onto floor.
8. Reposition drain pan, making sure that the last bit of oil will again miss it and drip on floor.

(PS: For oil filter removal, follow the same process, also making sure that oil filter falls into drain pan and splashes oil out onto floor.)

The dramatization of the oil change place. Hysterical! And true.

Jól érthető, lényegretörő, hasznos video. Köszönöm. István Magyarországról. Easy to understand, insightful, useful video. Thanks. Steve from Hungary.

Canister tip: A bit of oil in the actual filter before putting it on will help it get closer to where it needs to be when checking it after turning it off.

[waedjradi]

Actually, this is very uncomplicated. Thanks.

[VeeBabyyyyyy]

Thank you! You explained it well enough (on top of what has been told to me before) to do it myself 💛

I just started a job as a lube tech with no experience about cars, this helped a lot

Make sure that the drainage vessel is big enough to hold the oil. :) Mercedes go for 6 litres +, so don't assume an oil can with the side cut out will work. :) It must also be rigid, or you'll have a right mess very shortly. Also, think ahead as to how you will get the oil out of the drainage vessel into the disposal container and what that will be. It might be possible to use a sump pump down the dipstick hole. Easy, if possible. Been here, done it a thousand times. :)

Great info. And love the dramatization scene

[stevenw]

Thanks! The vehicle in the video is exactly like my son’s Malibu. This video is a specific step-by-step guide for me.

[camryiraq]

استفدنا ..شكراً جزيلاً

[hattag]

0:34 I’ve seen that a lot and that happens to me a lot too.

Most times the oil filter can be twisted off by hand. But yeah sometimes a He-Man might over-tighten it.

[sapatifiaui]

I wish I could have all the tools use for it so I can do it myself. I really need to know more about cars now.
