How do we find out when it is time to replace the car oil?
According to car experts, it is better to change car oil after 5000 km or after every 3 months. Of course, the exact time also depends on factors such as driving style, car type and oil quality. Apart from the above, if you encounter the following, it is better to change the car oil as soon as possible while checking the car:
Tick tock sound when starting Increasing the engine speed of the car in a stationary state Reducing the acceleration of the car (you can read the article on increasing the acceleration of the car for more information.) The sound of successive blows from the engine is heard Turning on and activating the car oil light

Changing the engine oil is done for regular and optimal maintenance on the car. Engine oil acts as a protective material for the internal parts of the engine. It will prevent wear and other breakdowns by maintaining reduced friction between the engine's mechanical parts. Over time and more use of the car, engine oil becomes dirty and contaminated. Pollution particles, old oil and deposits are separated from the engine parts and collected in the engine. These contaminated materials can lead to a decrease in engine efficiency and cause damage and damage to engine parts in the long run.
Oil replacement steps
1. Supplying the necessary supplies
Before going to the store to buy parts, check your car's manual to find out the right type and quantity of oil. Usually, five-liter bottles are more economical, but you may have problems using them.
2. Tool preparation
Before starting work, collect the necessary tools and supplies. To change the oil, you need engine oil, an oil filter, a wrench for removing the filter, a drain wrench, a funnel, a drain pan, and gloves. Also, a floor jack and safety stands or steel ramps are required for better access under the vehicle. Remember to never use unstable jacks.
1. Car Preparation
Although the engine needs to be warm to change the oil, the engine should not be overheated. In this case, let the engine cool down a bit. If you need to raise the car, you have enough time to do it until the engine cools down. Be sure to install the safety brackets correctly. There is usually no need to remove the tire to change the oil; But if your car has a hidden cover, remove it.
1. Find oil filter and drain plug
Next, you need to identify the oil filter and drain plug. Most cars have a screw-on filter at the bottom. If the filter and the drain valve are too far apart, you need to change the drain pan after draining the oil. Therefore, it is better to complete the steps of draining and filling the oil first to make it easier to work with the filter.
1. Discharge of engine oil
After identifying the oil filter and the drain plug, you should proceed to drain the engine oil. First, make sure the drain pan is under the drain valve. Of course, due to the angle of the drain valve, the oil comes out at a certain angle, so tilt the container a few centimeters to the other side. If you do this outdoors, be aware of the wind so that the oil does not spread. Then open the oil filler cap. With this, the oil comes out faster and smoother.
1. Tightening the drain plug
Check and clean the drain plug while draining the oil. If you need to replace the plug gasket, make sure that the old gasket is not stuck to the engine oil; Because putting a new gasket on the old one may cause problems. You also need to secure the plugin.
1. Oil filter replacement
In the next step, you must remove the oil filter and install new filters; But the filters may be difficult to remove. Our advice is not to use the wrench too much and let the filter loosen slowly. Do not drop the filter when it is being removed; Because the oil will start pouring.
1. Adding new oil
After making sure the oil drain screw and filter are properly tightened, it's time to add new oil. It is better to first pour the oil into the chamber approximately one liter less than the recommended amount. Our recommendation is to keep the oil bottles with you to make it easier. After adding oil, put the oil cap and start the engine. Allow the engine to run for 30 seconds or more to allow the new oil to circulate well. Then turn off the engine and inspect the undercarriage for leaks.
