[RockYvsRambO313]

[infinity3jif]

[alalalal1100]

remember this video is from the cheaper times(2007)

[romil008]

dont we have to remove the oil first from the engine and then put new one???????????

[hp11208]

synthetic is the best

[motoringmax]

when you change oil, is it best to go for synthetic or regular?

[MoToRPoLLuTioN]

1 dollar a quart? where do u live? i wanna get some oil from there

[3wheeler016]

great video, but only one problem. on every single vehicle i've worked on, and i work on them every day, from the lowest line on the dipstick to the highest, always takes a full quart, not a half.

[DALE97DSM]

dollar for motor oil. Yeah right, what store in the US.

[stmc247]

do we need to drain out the remaining oil before adding more oil? 'cause when i have my car to have an oil change, that guy told me that they are gonna drain the oil and refill.

[Castillo0929]

hey...stmc247

thats only for an oil change...

but if ur jus gonna refill it..u DNT have to drain it..

lik i said..thats only for an oil change that u have to drain it

[3wheeler016]

@stmc247 yes, they have to drain the old oil in order to change it.

[GoldsteinBaruch]

Synthetic oil is the best.

[3wheeler016]

@GoldsteinBaruch if you change your oil every 3 to 5k, all oil is pretty much the same. synthetic oils are good for extended periods of time.

[Oneartfuldodger]

Do you check your oil with the engine warm or cold from sitting overnight?

[Ghettoes6]

@Oneartfuldodger

it doesn't matter. the dipstick should have lines on it that specify how high the oil is whether it's cold or hot.

[lovemym16]

I can so not tell that those are Quakerstate Moble 1 and Valveoline!

[utubesuckz]

Expert Village should only have Jeff Wong do these car videos. His videos are actually in-dept and many are over 3-4 minutes long compared to the usual 1-2 minutes from other EV videos.

[cheratberry]

these vids R really useful !!

[supermario1006]

thanks for the vid.. just got a new car and i need to know the basics.

[vincent82123]

Moreover, you have to make sure you park your car on level ground.

[sbakar]

Your videos are very well thought out and clearly explained. There is so much crap on Youtube, it's refreshing to see high-quality videos like your's.

[calichevylover]

IF U NEED AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO TO check ur freakin oil level IM SORRY U SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OWN A VEHICLE.

[coopsN2]

you have to learn somewhere

[kingsley15]

so ur telling me when you bought ur 1st car u just somehow knew...every1 has to learn from somewhere!!

[htie96]

@kingsley15 Yeah cause the first creators of the automobile had an owners manual that allowed them to know everything...they did trial and error....you can figure alot out on your own....

[Jonotinker]

It does say BASIC car care. Anyway you watched it didnt you? Haha

[perez87r]
