How to change a car's oil?

Changing a car's oil is an important maintenance task that should be regularly performed to keep the engine running smoothly. To start, gather the necessary tools and materials such as an oil filter, fresh oil, a wrench, an oil filter wrench, a drain pan, and gloves. Park the car on a level surface and wait for the engine to cool down. Locate the oil drain plug underneath the car and place the drain pan underneath it. Unscrew the drain plug carefully and let the old oil drain completely. Once drained, replace the drain plug and move on to replacing the oil filter by first loosening it with an oil filter wrench. Remove the old filter and clean the surrounding area before installing the new one. Then, fill the engine with the appropriate amount and type of fresh oil through the oil fill cap. Finally, check the oil level on the dipstick, start the engine, and check for any leaks. Regularly changing a car's oil will help prolong its life and enhance its performance.
