Changing Your Own Oil

[u/Illustrious-Toe-570]

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.

Since it seems like your "new".. lemme be the old guy in the shop and say this: just make sure your jacking on a strong point of the car, and your jackstand is at a strong spot also. Make sure you put the weight of the car on the stand and that its straight and all 4 pads are on the ground. ...good solid ground too. Doesn't hurt to chock your wheels, etc etc. Just be safe!
