How to do an oil change 🏎💨

[ashleybarham]

Everyone saying about the filter, what about the fact he just jacked it up from the middle of the car! Always use the jacking points never use the middle of the sills.

Yeah let's not jack up a car by the fender.

1. Oil filter info is not on the fill cap
2. You don't need to prefill oil filter...especially if it is installed sideways like some vehicles where you can't prefill anyways; if you do at least explain it accounts for a portion of the oil the vehicle calls for so people arent confused
3. Put the jack stands on the frame, not the fender
4. Replace the oil plug gasket
5. Hand tighten AND quarter turn the oil filter
6. Please delete this so you dont ruin someones car

That was the cleanest oil I have ever seen come out of a car

U don’t need to fill up the filter man. Ive seen it lead to the filter not sealing with the gasket causing a leak. This method is not worth it at all due to it not causing hardly any difference in the process besides the fact u pouring it in the filter and risking more of a mess. Just lube the rim/seal and it’s good to go.

Ok people are complaining about where he jacked the car, the condition of the oil he's changing and the, filling the filter, even the damn Temp of the oil being changed.

He jacked the car properly, it made contact with the FRAME of his SPECIFIC vehicle. Some cars have pinch welds on the frame to indicate that you're in the right place and also the best point to jack up the front and rear of the car from.

That oil could be mint coming out of that pan it doesn't matter if you change it too early it doesn't hurt the engine it can just be wasteful at best. He probably drives this car pretty hard and needs to keep the oil as friction free as possible.

The temp of the engine oil while you chnage it or temp of the car doesn't help as much as you think. Especially if you don't let the car settle for a while after it runs. The oil's temp matters next to none if you're changing it, it comes out at relatively the same speed as if it were hot. Oil only needs to be at OT when CHECKING it not changing it.

Filling the filter is absolutely fine if your filter screws in from the bottom. It will not introduce anymore dirt into the filter than your dusty ass environment will while letting it sit dry.

always use jack stands. my neighbor was having some dude working under his car and he only had a crappy jack and guess what happens next all we hear is him screaming help cause his car fell when the jack failed luckily i was outside with my friends and we managed to lift it enough for him to slide out lucky he didn’t lose his life

All due respect, this made me unsubscribe🤣 I’m a newish mechanic, I need to learn I don’t need to be learning wrong

Oil cap doesn't always have the oil weight on it. That being said if you don't know and it doesn't specify what oil you need in the owners manual then call the dealership and give them the last 8 of your vin. Also most vehicles include the filter capacity when it tells you how many quarts to put in your car. When your done turn the car over for about 15 seconds then check the dip stick. That the correct way to check your oil after you change it. Also prefilling the filter may or may not let small particles into the engine and cause damage.

When I was an apprentice I was told the ones who don’t take the extra second to pre fill their filters are usually the ones who are hacks and do the bare minimum just there for a check don’t care about the trade. If you really know how engines work you’d know why it’s beneficial to pre Fill your oil filters if you can.

For any person out there watching this, do not prefill your oil filter unless you're doing it on a diesel with a vertical spin on filter. Diesels need to atleast be 50% filled due to harsh start ups during an oil change. 👍🏻

Make a tutorial for changing blinker fluid please 😉

[misterudik]

When remove drain plug...you must remove oil filter and change it...when done...install drain plug with new gasket on it

[craigowens]

That oil coming out was colder than my exs heart

[thomasforsha]

I disagree with a good portion of this

[Nycorexti]

Alright guide but prefilling the filter is not needed, and put your jacks in the proper spots!!

[jrlgarage]

Make a tutorial on how to keep your hands that clean while doing an oil change 😂

[IsaiahMatthewBourgard]

Easiest ever. Video explained a lot. With my own ride I can as well do it myself. Yeah paying is easier, but it’s something to do.

[arnold]

Use jacking points, or better yet a set of ramps, also you don't need to fill your filter, that is silly, try doing that with a sideways or upside down mounted oil filter.... you just need to lube up the gasket and make sure the old one came off. You also may want to get a new crush washer for the drain plug every few changes.

Also make sure the gasket from the previous filter is not stuck on the car this can cause oil leaking
