Working with Car Oil Filter
For long engine life it is necessary to change the oil and oil filter at regular intervals; every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Changing your car oil filter is not a complex thing to do. You can do it at your parking lot saving a lot of your money. Hereunder, we are going to discuss some of the useful steps with the help of which you can change or replace your car oil filter at your own. It is strongly recommended to use the specific filter and oil brand (for good results) for your car
You Need the Following Things
Drain pan (oil drain pan)
Gloves to protect your skin from oil contact
Wrench (oil filter removal) and other screw drivers, if required
Torch or Flashlights
New oil filter
Steps
1. The first step is to locate the oil filter under the engine hood. It can be anywhere near the engine either on side of the engine or at the bottom. In case your car has it filter below the engine you need a jack to raise the front part of the engine to replace it.
2. After locating the oil filter, look out for the drain hole or cap, it might be on either side or at the bottom of it.
3. Place the drain pan under the drain hole of the filter. Remove the cap of the drain hole. Let all the oil drains out of the filter.
4. Remove the filter by turning it anti-clockwise with the help of wrench (filter removal wrench). Avoid damaging the gasket or other engine parts.
5. Once you have removed the old filter, examine it carefully for the necessary wear and tear. Check seals, gaskets and other parts of the filter. If you find any kind of damage to gasket or seal rubber that’s mean your car filter needs to be replaced with new one.
6. Take a new oil filter, apply small amount of oil on it sealing rubber gasket, this will help the filter to fit in its place more firmly.
7. Place it on the specific place and turn the new filter in clockwise direct to screw it tight. First tight it with your hand and later use the wrench to tight it firmly to avoid any leakage.
8. Replace the drain cap. Once you are done with fixing new filter.
9. Take a bottle with new oil and add it to the engine up to the required mark. Don’t fill above the required level lest it will harm the engine as well as the filter quality.
10. Recap the fill cap. Start the engine and check for the possible leaks. Look under the hood if there is any sign of oil dripping on to the floor. Let engine working idly for a minute or so for everything to be settling down.
These are some of the useful instructions with the help of which you can take care of your engine oil and oil filter.
