Engine wear is prevented by regular oil changes. Lift the car to get access to the oil drain plug and the filter. Allow the engine to warm up so that oil flows easily. Find a flat surface, turn off the engine, and remove the filler cap for oil. Lift it properly; position a drain pan under an engine, then pull out a plug. Let's drain out all oil, clean a plug, and reinstall it again. Take another one that has no remains of an old gasket and screw it on instead of the previous one. Now lower the vehicle, add fresh oil, and check if there is enough of it inside. If everything is okay, start an engine, look for leaks around everywhere, and adjust the oil level when necessary.

Position a drain pan under the oil drain plug and remove the plug with the correct-sized wrench, wearing a rubber glove to avoid burns. Shift the pan as oil flow slows, inspect the old oil for metal particles, clean the drain plug and surrounding area, reinstall the plug, and move the drain pan under the oil filter.

During an oil change, the oil filter should be loosened with a filter wrench, unscrewed by hand while tilting the open end upward to prevent spills, and the mounting surface on the engine block should be cleaned while ensuring no old gasket remnants remain.

Remove tools and materials, lower the vehicle, and add fresh oil through the filler cap using a funnel to prevent spills. Pour four quarts of oil, wait for drainage, and check the level with the dipstick.

Proper disposal of the old oil is crucial, and it should not be poured on the ground or down a drain. Instead, it should be taken to a recycling facility.

Frequent oil changes are crucial for preventive maintenance because aging engine oil becomes diluted and contaminated over time, leading to premature engine wear. Regular oil changes help maintain engine health and prolong its lifespan.

Care should be taken not to touch the hot exhaust components, and one should note their routing to avoid contact.

Loosen and remove the oil filter with a wrench or by hand, tilting it upward to prevent oil spillage. Clean the mounting surface and gasket, compare the old filter to the new one, lubricate the gasket with engine oil, and install the new filter by hand.
