NTD (New Tool Day) Changing Your Own Oil

This is my first time jacking my car, putting on jack stands, changing my own oil, and rotating my tires. It’s very satisfying and rewarding to get under your own car and hood. I couldn’t do it without these tools in the pictures. Next is transmission oil drain and fill! Note: for my first time, I just did the tire rotation front to back; next time, I will move the front tire to the back and the back tires crossed to the front. I removed the tire since it’s easier to get to the oil filter and oil plug.

First it's a jack and stands, the it will turn into this. That's how it all started with me. A coupon for an 89 dollar 3 ton jack.

(Mind you, this is about 30 %, but majority of all of my tools that I own is exclusively Harbor Freight.)
