Aging and contaminated oil can cause premature engine wear, which is why it is important for home mechanics to change oils periodically. Ensure you have all necessary tools and plenty of rags or newspapers in case of spills. Either ramps, hoists, or jackstands should be employed to enhance accessibility to the underside of the vehicle. Locate the drain plug as well as the filter before starting since there may be problems due to hot engine components. Once the car is parked on a level surface, warm up the engine; turn off then remove the filler cap. Raise your vehicle and put a drain pan under your drain plug; carefully take out the plug. Let all old oil drain out and inspect if any metal shavings are found inside it. Clean up the drain plug properly before reinstalling it tightly back in place and move this pan under the filter for oil. Loosen and remove your old filter, clean its mounting surface and lubricate new gasket on its with some engine oil before finally screwing it into block by hand tightly. Take down your auto while pouring fresh oil through its filler cap; start an engine so that this oil circulates around it; then check whether there are any leaks after that. A few minutes later, reexamine your oil level plus watch out for leakage or proper quantities when next driving anywhere else too. Always dispose used oils at appropriate recycling centers instead of letting them go down drains or seep into earths' surfaces directly.

The recommended frequency for preventive maintenance is to change oil frequently because the engine oil that ages is diluted and dirtied, which causes premature engine wear. It is good practice to change oil filters at each oil change. Before starting the process, collect all materials and tools needed such as drain pan, rubber gloves, breaker bar, socket and filter wrench. Prepare clean rags and newspapers for any spills in case of accidents. Be familiar with the location of the oil drain plug and the filter as well as being careful about hot engines and exhaust components when working under them. Warm up your engine to normal operating temperature then get all required tools along with type of oil. Raise vehicle carefully secure it in place; have drain pan placed beneath the drain plug before using a spanner to release it thus draining out old oil. Wipe off plug's threads; clean up around area there reinstall firmly so no leaks occur afterwards. The position of the drain pan should be below the filter; it is a matter of loosening and unscrewing by means of a special tool provided with this cartridge together with emptying into prepared container what was contained within it earlier on until this stuff comes out completely dry one could do this anything long time finally at last without tightening screwing or winding anything back whatsoever at all.

Make sure you dispose of old oils accordingly by getting local recycling or disposal companies involved rather than pouring them directly into drainage systems as this would eventually ruin everything around there.

After installing a new oil filter, add fresh oil through the oil filler cap, pour three quarts of oil, wait for it to drain into the pan, and check the oil level on the dipstick. If needed, add more oil to reach the appropriate level.

Access to the vehicle's underside is improved when using a hoist, ramps, or jackstands for support.
