RE: Doin' Shit Yourself #2: Oil and Filter Change

in #diy8 years ago

the better idea is in the oil plug. It is not there to clean the oil, just to draw your attention to a big bill that is coming your way.[maybe time to sell the car quickly]
Make sure you are using a good brand oil filter, we were offered a cheaper line of filters once, the rep left one behind and I opened it up to see what they were using for a filter medium.
Nothing.
No wonder they were a lot cheaper.
what is your next DIY item? in case I can help.

Sort:  

thanks for elaborating! I just got my car through the safety inspection and I hope there won't be anything that needs diy-ing too soon!

following you though, in case something happens... maybe I will remember to reach out to your knowledge!

untrained, just what I have learned through a lot of stuff ups, and listening to the experts.
If I can help, give me a yell.

have followed you, if that helps keep track.
