DIY Your Car’s Oil Change

Doing your own car’s oil change is an excellent way to get started on DIY repairs and services on your car. There is a reason why people looking to become professional mechanics start at lube shops. On most cars, the oil change is one of the easiest things you can do. It provides an easy entry into becoming familiar and comfortable with working on cars. It also is an excellent way to start learning basic and proper repair techniques and develop a familiarity with using tools. This is why performing an oil change is also a great first task for the DIYer. The oil change allows the do-it-yourselfer to gain positive experience and become comfortable working on their car.

Servicing your car and doing your own oil change also allows you to see the mechanical  components of your car.  For many first time Do-it-yourselfers this is an awe-inspiring experience.  It allows you to see the nut and bolts of your car and really get a hands-on feel for the car’s present state of health. For many people that have not maintained their car properly, it becomes a moment of enlightenment as they realize that they need to start repairing and servicing their car immediately or risk having to live life without a car as it is on the verge of breaking.
