I almost expected a picture of you covered in oil from some mishap. Does that make me a bad person?
Thanks for the writeup though, will be useful.

You forgot to mention which way to turn the wrench to loosen and tighten!

But thats ok i figured it out all by myself.

well its common sense which way to turn the wrench..lol. Man I was really bored yesterday. Anyone know a good deal on gauges on oil pressure, fuel lvl, water temp, and voltmeter?

That a good idea for somone that dose not knoe how to change there oil.

Well I dunno about fuel level, but AutoMeter has a little 3-guage pod thing that looks pretty slick. It's about 35 bucks at any auto parts store.

forgot to tell us how to jack it up :D

I'm sueing you! You didn't tell me not to do it with the truck running! Now I have 7th degree burns all over my body.

lol i dont think there is such thing as 7'th degree burns! and btw I belive you would be dead with anthing past 3'rd degree burns! :P

and I didnt need the jack really, I only used it really to take pics and give my fat butt some room cause im lazy

Thanks for posting that! We can't always assume that everyone knows how to do that.

Here are a few tips and tricks I'd like to add:

1. Car ramps are very easy to use, and a lot safer than jacking up the vehicle if you need the clearance underneath.

2. A piece of cardboard underneath the drain pan will catch any splashes. (I usually make a mess getting the filter off.)

3. Keep a dedicated "oil change" funnel in a coffee can in your garage. Only use it for motor oil, and put it back in the can when you are done. You will never need to wipe it off or clean it, and it will always be clean for the next use.

4. Make a reference card. Write the filter type, weight and number of quarts required and even the wrench size for the drain plug on a 3x5 index card. (you can keep this in your glove box). If you don't have that info memorized, you'll never have to look it up again. I actually have this information written on a piece of a box from a replacement oil filter that lists the equivelant filters from 6 other brands. I also include the wrench size, because we have 3 different vehicles at home. Some are english, some are metric, and this way I always take the right size wrench under that car with me!

5. Try using rubber gloves. After 25 years of going bare-handed, I tried wearing disposable rubber gloves for the first time today. Say what you will, but I will never change oil without them again!

Hey that is awesome, you should get bored more often. Who's the hot girl at the end of your page? :-D

Changing oil with rubber gloves is one hella great plan. Used oil has many toxins that are soooo dangerous to your health. Definitely for you guys who do this for a living.

BTW, jacks and stands are FAR safer than ramps.

BEWARE!! In pic #2 it looks like that boston terrier is sniffing at the passenger's door...a leg-hike may not be far behind! 8O

I tried it so that clean up was easier. I got tired of old oil under my fingernails! It worked great!

BTW, jacks and stands are FAR safer than ramps.

How do you figure? Ramps keep the suspension in the design position, keeping the weight distributed properly. I've seen vehicles fall off jacks and stands, but never a ramp.

As long you set the parking brake then the ramps are just as safe as jacks w/jack stands.

Whenever I jack up vehicles I always jack both sides up and put jack stands under them.

Snaggle ToOth,
You are fricken crazy. Please don't do a masturbation "how to" documentary the next time you are bored. Peace!
