Because of the way that most quick-lube shops do business, fewer and fewer people have been turning to them for regular oil change as well as oil filter change. So how do these people change their oil and oil filter?
As challenging as it may sound, changing your oil as well as your oil filter is can actually be done in a breeze. All you need to prepare are some rags, a ratchet, an oil filter wrench, funnel, oil catch or recycle container, your new oil, and your new oil filter.
The first thing that you have to do is to drain whatever oil there is in your engine. Make sure that recycle container is positioned correctly in order to catch the oil that would be flowing out once you remove the oil drain plug. Once you have drained out the oil, replace the plug securely. Now, with the use of your oil filter wrench, remove your old oil filter by turning it clockwise until it comes off.
Most auto repair Atlanta Georgia centers would recommend that, before you put the new filter, you should lubricate first the rubber gaskets with the new oil before filling the filter up with about 2/3 of the new oil. Carefully and securely place the new oil filter and place. Make sure that you do not screw it too tightly nor loosely as this could result to leaks.
For your engine oil, check first with your car’s manual how much oil you need to put in. If you do not have a car manual with you for some reason, you can get in touch with your local auto repairs Atlanta shops and ask them how much oil a car of your make and brand would need. Insert the funnel in and pour about ¾ of the amount your car would need. With a dipstick, check if you still need to add some more oil until you reach the needed amount. You do not add all the oil in one dumping as there might still be some oil inside that has been left unaccounted for.
If oil and filter change is something that’s foreign to you, then you can always head to the different local shops offering auto repair in Atlanta. They would be able to change your oil and your car’s filter in a matter of minutes.
