Almost 3 years old and this video still comes in handy. I put in almost 4 qts of a full synthetic and a top of the line Purolator Boss filter for under $30. I don't think there's a Jiffy Lube on the planet that could beat that deal! I got lucky in that the ONE wrench I own was the perfect fit for the oil drain plug, and the oil filter was removable by hand.
A question: Where do you find new copper crush washers? I was able to find drain plugs that come with a new washer, but no washers just by themselves (and hopefully a little cheaper).
Finally, a helpful tip for my fellow viewers: You can take your used motor oil to most parts stores (AutoZone, O'Reillys, Advance Auto, etc.) to recycle for free. For a long time the biggest thing stopping me from doing my own oil changes was not knowing where to take my used oil. Save the container(s) your new oil came in to pour the used oil into. It makes transporting the stuff far easier.
Anyways, thanks as always for the tips, tricks, and helpful video guides!
YOU HAVE A NEW SUBBBBBBB!!!!…
Just did my first oil change and it worked out great, found out the oil tank nut wasn’t even tight. Saved time and money, next project is brakes
Redneck tip. If you have to you can drive a screwdriver through your oil filter to spin it off
Don't forget to wear eye protection goggles or glasses. Wouldn't want any debris or rust particles falling into your eyes.
Hey chris
I've been binging your videos over the past couple weeks and it's made me feel really motivated to work on my car, even though there's nothing my car needed done (not like im gonna install a performance exhaust or coilovers in a honda civic hahah). When my oil change warning came up in my car, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. So I did! Got the oil, got some ramps and replaced my own oil for the first time! This was after years and years and years of my parents taking their cars to Jiffy Lube for every single oil change and it was so satisfying and really quite amazing seeing how easy it is to do at home.
So thank you so much! The effort you put in your videos is incredible and you deserve to be so much more popular than the "vloggers" who somehow dominate youtube nowadays. I hope you get to see this.
I’m 14 and I just changed the oil in my dads truck. Thanks for the tips!
I just did my first oil change last week while watching this my car had exactly 184000 miles when i changed the oil and it was nasty
Of course the previous owner was an idiot and hadnt changed the oil for 20000 miles im lucky there wasnt major engine damage
Thanks for all you do Chris, I changed my oil today and am excited for the future of knowing EVERYTHING about my car. We all appreciate it! (especially our lady friends if you know what I mean)
Magnificent guideline….thanks Chris…. Is it necessary to use engine flush during this process as well??
