DIY change oil

**choycontreras** · April 11th, 2003 03:27 AM

Have tried it recently on my car - hi mileage na kasi so I have seen a lot of the change oil practices the mechanics are doing .

Bought the oil and filter from the auto supply,
jacked up the car higher than usual,
took out the front right wheel,
took out the plastic plate/cowling on the axle for easy reach of the oil filter
had an oil filter wrench with me, but when I was removing it kaya naman pala manually taking out with the torque of my hand
Let the oil drip completely - about 10-15 mins
Replace with new filter, refill with oil.

Took me about 35-40 mins with little sweat and some grease in my hands but it was good exercise. Would save you 100-150 on labor also.

I think I'll be doing that exercise from now on.

choycontreras,

Yup, ok talaga DIY oil change.

Sayang busy na ko masyado lately for it. Kelangan pa ba i-jack? Never go under a vehicle supported by a jack alone. Delikado yun.

another DiY baby!

safety dapat ang first concern natin
jack up the car the put permanent jacks
(sold in hardwares)

ako naka jacj din kasi para naka angle yung car
para simot yung lumang oil

let it stand overnight then next morning dun mo
put new filter and refill ang oil

ako i really don't jack the car. i just go under it. nakakatakot eh. and instead of having it drained by 15 to 30 minutes, i usually had it drained for about an hour.

Used oil Im keeping it sa isang container pinag sa sama sama ko anyway I normally used fully synthetic oil... Guys you can used it for some other purposes later lalo na if you're building a new house.

**chieffy** · April 11th, 2003 04:30 PM

used oil?
donate nyo sa pinakamalapit na gas station or ipunin nyo...meron bumibili ng used oil...we sell our used oil for Php 700/drum then we give the proceeds sa aming lubemen(incentive)...ginagamit daw itong "panggatong" ng mga bumibili...

**kupaloids** · April 12th, 2003 01:57 PM

Ako binibigay ko din dun sa malapit na gas station namin. Nirerecycle DAW kasi yun at ginagawang 2T oil ng mga tricycle.

DIY din ako. Jack the car opposite side nung oil drain tapos let it drip overnight ang put new oil next day.

Inggat lang po sa DIY oil change.

**kupaloo** · April 12th, 2003 10:20 PM

nag pachange oil ako sa coastal pinalagay ko ay shell helix plus full syntethic daw yun kaya ngayun mga ilang km bago ako ulit change oil if ever kailangan ko ba pa tune up after several months

**choycontreras** · April 13th, 2003 08:40 AM

Yes, I think I have to have one of those metal stands to support the jack while I'm doing some reaching under the car. Pafabricate siguro ako dahil mahal kasi yung mga nabibili sa stores e.

**buddyclub** · April 13th, 2003 04:25 PM

Kinakabahan kasi ako pag released mo ng hydrolic Jack imagine andon ka sa ilalim nag fail yung jack mo..sakit non

**kimpOy** · April 14th, 2003 11:37 AM

metal stands pala
ako i brush used oil sa mga leaf springs ko
sa mga underchasis, lalo na after kong mag lahar off roading

**fierari** · April 14th, 2003 02:57 PM

yup dami na naputulan ng paa jan umaasa kasi sila sa jack.

sa pag change oil naman ginagamitan ko ng air compressor para ibuga nya palabas yung natitirang oil sa loob very effective naman sya.

Pwde ba i-donate sa kahit anong gas station? Like in your case, pano kayo linalapitan? We're thinking of adding oil change sa shop namin, but I need to know how to dispose the oil properly. Thanks.

theveed,

Kahit talyer nila GlennSter tatanggapin iyan.

**chieffy** · April 16th, 2003 10:51 AM

theveed since may change oil service rin sa inyo, bili na lang kayo ng walang laman na 200 liter drum tapos doon nyo ipunin yung used oil...huwag mo na i-donate...kayo na rin ang magbenta tapos ibigay mo na lang sa tao mo yung proceeds as incentive(mas gaganahan sa trabaho ang mga iyan...believe me)

kapag dumaan ulit yung bumibili sa amin ng used oil ibibigay ko na lang yung address nyo...baka bigyan ka pa nila ng libreng 200 ltr drum :wink:
