I just bought a new car and I need to know the different steps to changing the oil.

1. Choose a synthetic oil that is appropriate for your car and purchase the necessary amount depending on your car’s engine size.
2. Locate the oil pan and loosen the drain plug with a wrench.
3. Place a large drain pan underneath the oil pan and completely remove the drain plug, allowing the oil to drain out into the pan.
4. Replace the drain plug with a new one and torque it to the manufacturer’s specifications.
5. Remove the old oil filter, clean the surrounding area and install a new oil filter.
6. Refill the oil to your car’s engine recommended level with the synthetic oil you purchased.
7. Put the dipstick back and make sure the level of oil is correct.
8. Start the engine for a few seconds to pressurize the oil pump and ensure the oil has circulated.
9. Check for any oil leaks.
10. Store the used oil and oil filter properly for disposal.
