Wink Few Tips

Best to have engine warm first, makes the oil flow easier. Best to use a new gasket on the drain plug. Make sure the old gasket comes off the pan, and the surface is really clean.

Make sure the old filter gasket comes off the block, and the surface is really clean.

Make sure you put some new oil on the new filter gasket (use your finger to apply).

At home, I drive the car up on the edge of the curb, with the 2 driver's side tires, so I can slip under easy, and the drain hole is on the low side.
