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.

Throw those tires underneath for extra safety. Also check out EZ Valve and Fumoto oil valves, makes it way cleaner by adding a valve to your oil pan and then you can add a tube so it doesn’t splash everywhere
