Check those out below, and if you feel as though you don’t have the tools or time to perform an oil change yourself, you can schedule your service appointment right here at Zappones Service Center in Granville, NY!
Zappone CDJR’s Tips For Changing Your Oil:
Warm Up the Engine
- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes before draining the oil. Warm oil flows more easily, making it easier to drain out.
Use a High-Quality Oil Filter
- Invest in a high-quality oil filter to ensure it traps contaminants and protects your engine.
Check the Drain Plug Washer
- Inspect the drain plug washer for signs of wear or damage. If it looks worn or damaged, replace it before reinstalling the drain plug.
Use a Torque Wrench
- When tightening the drain plug and oil filter, use a torque wrench to ensure you’re tightening them to the correct specifications.
Check the Oil Level
- After refilling the engine with new oil, check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary, but be careful not to overfill.
By following these tips, you can change your vehicle’s oil like a pro and keep your car running smoothly for miles to come.
