When and How to Change the Oil in Your Car

Keeping your car clean, tidy and spotless from the outside is not enough. In order to maintain your car and ensure that it is running efficiently right from its core, it is imperative to keep a tab on the inner workings of the vehicle as well. Changing your oil and keeping an eye on the frequency of doing so is a crucial task of keeping the inner workings of your car running smoothly.

In order to make sure that you ace the art of keeping your car healthy, here is all that you need to know about that all-important motor oil, and when and how you should change it.

What Role Does Motor Oil Play?

As mentioned above, the motor oil in your car plays a big and more important role in keeping things functioning well internally as far as your vehicle is concerned. Oil makes sure that all parts inside the car remain lubricated and don’t get damaged due to any unwarranted grinding or heating. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on the levels and maintenance of motor oil in your car.

When Does the Oil Need to be Changed?  

The first and easiest way to get to know more about when to change the oil in your car is according to the instruction manual that goes with your particular car model. Make sure you go through all the instructions mentioned in the manual in order to gain an insight as to when the ideal time to change the oil in your vehicle would be.

Many cars come with monitors that remind users to cater to their car’s oil needs at regular intervals and when needed. It is important to pay heed to these notifications and get your oil changed in time. The estimated calculation as to when it is ideal to change the oil in your car is universally averaged at around 3,000 miles or once in every three months.

How to Change the Oil by Yourself?

In order to change the car oil all by yourself, you need to make sure that your car is in place and your tires are restrained with the help of wheel blocks. Jack the car at the point where it’s mentioned according to the instruction manual and place jack stands.

Remove the oil cap on top of the engine after opening your hood and keep a collecting container ready below, in order to hold all of the drained oil after removing the oil plug from below.

Wait for the oil to drain and then remove the filter by unscrewing it with a proper tool. Prepare the new filter by adding a bit of the fresh, replacement oil as lubricant and screw it tight in place.

All you need to do next is add the fresh, new oil at the fill hole above the engine and replace the fill cap, ensuring that it is shut tight.

This is how you can check and administer the oil-changing process of your car if and when need be.
