How to Change your Oil and Oil Filter

It's August, which is the busiest time for road trips! Here are a few tips on how to change your oil and oil filter before you hit the road!

Oil is the lifeblood of your car. It keeps hardworking engine parts running clean, smooth and cool.

• To check your oil, let your car run for a few minutes, then park it on a level surface and shut off the engine. 
• Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. You're looking for two things here: the level of oil and how the oil looks.
• If you're low on oil, you can either add another quart or simply change the oil completely. 
• The oil should look brownish yellow and clean on the stick. If the oil is a dark color or there's a lot of dirt and grime in it, then you definitely need an oil change and oil filter replacement.
