How to Change Your Car's Oil: Part 2



To complete this How-To you will need:

Your car's owner's manual
A car jack and jack stands
An oil pan
An oil-filter wrench
A new oil filter
A funnel
A rag or a paper towel
A large resealable plastic bag
Motor oil
An approved automotive store that can dispose of your used oil and filter

Warning: Changing your oil can be dangerous, so be careful. If the car is jacked up incorrectly, you can hurt yourself and damage the car.

Step 1: Remove the oil filter

Under the hood or under the car, locate the oil filter, which is usually in the lower half of the engine block. Put the oil pan on the ground underneath the filter. With the oil-filter wrench, turn the filter counterclockwise to loosen it. Slowly and carefully remove it with your hands. The filter is full of oil: Have the oil pan handy. Seal the filter in the plastic bag and set it aside.

Tip: Once you remove the filter, make sure the rubber seal has come off with it and is not still attached to your car.

Step 2: Open the new filter

Open the new filter. With your finger, rub a thin layer of fresh oil around the rubber seal to lubricate it.

Step 3: Install the filter

Install the filter securely by turning it clockwise. You don't need the oil-filter wrench.

Tip: If the filter is screwed in too tightly, it can be damaged.

Step 4: Lower the car

Jack the car up slightly higher. Remove the jack stand; then lower the car back to the ground. Remove the jack.

Step 5: Add fresh oil

Under the hood, insert the funnel into the oil filler you opened earlier. Pour the oil into the funnel. Most cars require 4 to 6 quarts. Don't top it off. Replace the oil cap.

Step 6: Run the car

Start the car, let the engine run for about 30 seconds, and then turn it off.

Step 7: Check the oil level

Under the hood, pull out the oil dipstick, and wipe it with a rag or paper towel. Slide the dipstick all the way back into its slot. Pull the dipstick out again. Notice where the line of oil falls on the stick--it should be somewhere between the "add" and "full" markers. If you need to add more oil, do so. If not, replace the dipstick.

Step 8: Go for a ride

Close the hood and take your car for a spin. First stop: an automotive store, to drop off the used oil and filter for proper disposal.

How to Change Your Car's Oil: Part 1



To complete this How-To you will need:

Your car's owner's manual
Motor oil
Bricks or rocks
A car jack and jack stands
An oil pan
A box wrench or adjustable wrench
A towel
A disposable plastic container with a lid
A new drain-plug gasket

Warning: Changing your oil can be dangerous, so be careful. If the car is jacked up incorrectly, you can hurt yourself and damage the car.

Step 1: Prepare the car

Park the car on a level surface, apply the emergency brake, and let it cool off for at least an hour before you start working.

Step 2: Check your oil supply

Your owner's manual will specify the right kind and quantity of oil for your car's specific make and model. Make sure the oil is certified by the American Petroleum Institute.

Step 3: Block the wheels

Place sturdy, heavy objects (like bricks or rocks) behind and in front of the two back wheels to block them.

Step 4: Jack up the car

Check your owner's manual to find the jack point--the correct placement for a jack--under the car's front wheels. Use the jack to raise the car off the ground. Then, slide the jack stands under the car to bear the car's weight.

Warning: Never get under a car supported solely by a jack.

Step 5: Remove the oil-filler cap

Open the hood, and locate the oil-filler cap. Take it off, and put it somewhere safe.

Tip: Most oil caps are marked with an icon that looks like Aladdin's lamp.

Step 6: Loosen the plug

Slide under the car and position the oil pan on the ground directly under the engine. With the box or adjustable wrench, loosen the drain plug by turning it counterclockwise.

Step 7: Drain the oil

Cover your fingers with the towel and remove the plug. Adjust the pan so all the oil drains into it. While the oil is draining, you can switch out the old drain-plug gasket with a new one

Tip: The drain plug is usually closer to the front of the car. On some models, it's labeled. If the fluid coming out is red, you've removed the transmission plug by mistake--screw it back on and locate the drain plug.

Step 8: Replace the drain plug

After 15 to 20 minutes, when the oil has completely drained, screw the drain plug back on with your fingers. Tighten it with the wrench, being careful not to overtighten.

Step 9: Get rid of the old oil

Pour the used oil from the pan into a disposable container with a lid, and set it aside. You're halfway there--see How to Change Your Car's Oil: Part 2 to finish the task.

New ContiComfortContact CC5 - RM200 per tyre



I already changed 4 tires for my toyota car which total cost me at RM800.00. The replacement of new tires already included balancing and alignment work.

I changed it at Jalan Kapar Klang.

Now the problem is the alignment. Already went to 2 workshop to do alignment work but until now still not good. Not sure what is the root cause. But not because of the new tires.
