GM 25160561 Filter,Oil

Frequent oil changes is an important aspect of preventive maintenance. Age leads to dilution and contamination that makes engine oil become diluted and contaminated, thereby causing premature engine wear. The oil filter should be replaced when the oil change is done. This procedure will require prior arrangement of all the necessary tools and materials. It is also a good idea to have some clean rugs and newspapers nearby just in case any spillages occur. You can get to the underside of the vehicle by either using a lift, driving it onto ramps or by using jack stands. Identify where on the engine the oil drain plug and filter are located. Get the tools you need ready, and warm up the engine to operating temperature. Jack up or otherwise support the car securely. Position a drain pan beneath the drain plug; then, take it out with a wrench. After that, let all of your old motor oil flow out fully even as you wipe away your drain plug. Make sure that you reinstalling it properly after cleaning around this opening for this plug has been completed successfully. Slide a drain pan under this area then use a strap wrench to loosen and remove that old one from its place. Examine both filters for compatibility purposes. Put a light amount of clean oil on new filter's rubber gasket where this fits into position; after doing so, install such filters according to instructions provided for tightening them properly. Lower your car and find where exactly oils filler cap inside its engine compartment is located at before pouring fresh ones through funnel openings only because they are not wide at all: pour four quarts into an engine checking an oil level stick afterwards! Give it a try! Check for leaks at both the plugs in tank bottom (drain) plus-well-known places where these are usually found-beneath long engines during first start after changing their lubricants while also verifying that enough amount has remained yet again simply by going over dipstick repeatedly until satisfied if necessary should any need arisen otherwise we will be adding more soon after this operation ends. Remember to make sure your engine is not leaking by re-checking its oil level and refilling with additional oil if needed. During the first few trips after changing it, search for any signs of leakage or problems with proper amount of liquid in a tank containing that substance. You should dispose of the used motor oil properly; take it to an oil recycling center, mechanic's shop or gas station where they will dispose it appropriately. You also may not wish to pour it on the ground or down a drain either because doing so would end up causing environmental pollution since petroleum products like this one are non-biodegradable.

As a home mechanic, replacing the oil at regular intervals is an essential preventative measure because old and contaminated engine oil will cause premature wear of the engine. If you desire convenience and cost effect, change the oil filter each time you change oil. Before you begin this process, it's necessary to have with you clean rags, newspapers and other materials and tools required for changing oils. Warm up your car's engine to its normal temperature then safely raise it on jackstands. Some oil drain plug should be recognized by sight while others' locations might need a little bit of research as well as pointing a drain pan underneath them. After that carefully remove the plug, allow the oil to drain off then clean both the plug and its surrounding areas before fixing it back tightly. Put your drain pan under your oil filter then use wrench in unscrewing and removing the old filter ensuring that it is free from any oil residue. Examine both filters to ensure compatibility and maintain cleanliness around mounting area of filters Use fresh motor oil to lubricate the rubber gasket of a new filter lightly before installing it according to tightening instructions given by its manufacturer. Lower vehicle, find the cap filled with new oils then pour in enough amount of oils. Look at the level of oils after some few minutes and start an engine for couple of seconds while checking for any leakage. Any wrong disposal of used oils is harmful since they cannot be reused again. For those vehicles having Oil Life Monitor (OLM), resetting entails following specific procedures depending on whether or not Driver Information Center (DIC) is there in a vehicle.

Dispose of the old oil properly, ensuring it is recycled at an appropriate facility.

Performing regular oil changes is crucial as aged and contaminated engine oil can lead to premature engine wear.
