Can you tell me the steps for changing the oil of a car and oil filter?

step by step and where to buy partsCan you tell me the steps for changing the oil of a car and oil filter?
Go to your local parts store and buy the oil and filter before doing this.


jack the car up a little and support it from underneath.


get a drain pan that will hold more than a gallon of fluid.


lay on the ground and slide under the car and find the drain plug on the oil pan. you should be able to see the pulleys on one side of the motor. The oil pan is the one near that.


use the right size socket or wrench to remove the oil drain plug.


let it drain for a few minutes or until it is a slow drip.


replace the drain plug.


Now locate the oil filter and remove it. oil will come out as it is removed.


get the new filter out of its box and wipe a small amount of the used oil on the rubber seal at the threaded end of the filter.


thread the new filter on where the old one was being careful not to cross thread it.


thread it on till it touches the block and then only one half to one full turn after that. Do not torque it on.


slide drain pan out from under the car and lower it back down to the floor.


add 4 quarts of oil to the crank case and start the car for 5 seconds.


check oil level and add if needed and your done.


just take the used oil to a recycling center and that's it.
