Do It Yourself SUV Oil Change?

1) How hard is it to change the oil of a SUV?



2) How much approximately will it cost to get the supplies to do an oil change? What to I need other than oil and filter?



Thanks.Do It Yourself SUV Oil Change?You will need a drain pan about 6 bucks and i would get an oil filter wrench make sure it is for your filter they come in about 4 or 5 sizes. Initially about 30 bucks after you get what you need the next time all you will need is the oil and filter about 20 bucks. It is very easy to do. Take off the oil cap set drain pan under the oil pan unscrew the bolt on the oil pan drain replace bolt then remove oil filter and replace with new one make sure you wet your finger with a little oil and rub it on the black rubber o ring on the new filter so it will seal correctly. Hand tighten and then turn 1/4 turn more with wrench refill with oil they can tell you where you get the supplies from are you can look it up in your Manuel in the index under capacities. Thats it oh crank the car when all this is done let the oil light go out and check the oil level and adjust if need be. Thats it.Do It Yourself SUV Oil Change?You can go to the store and check the price of oil and a filter. Just get the type of oil your owner's manual recommends. You don't have to pay extra for a name brand. You will need an oil filter wrench, a wrench for the oil pan plug, and something to catch the oil. It's an easy job. Just remember to put the plug back in before you put the new oil in. People actually forget. Put the new filter on hand tight and turn it 1/4 turn more with the oil filter wrench. Start the engine and look underneath for leaks.



You can save an awful lot of money by doing things yourself on a car and at home. My hot water supply at home got cold all of a sudden and I fixed it today for something over eight dollars. I saved about two hundred bucks by doing it myself in a couple of minutes and I celebrated by taking a hot shower.Do It Yourself SUV Oil Change?95% of vehicles are very easy to change the oil on, all you need is oil and filter for parts, tools you will need a wrench for the oil drain plug, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, possibly a creeper to lie on when under the vehicle or old clothes if your just going to lie on the floor. The tools and drain pan you will be able to buy if you don't already have them for under $20.00, if you buy a creeper then they are about $30 - $50 for a decent one.Do It Yourself SUV Oil Change?well depends on the brand of oil and brand of filter
