Materials for Changing Oil in a Car

Video Transcript

"Hi, I’m Dean Donnel representing expertvillage.com. These are the materials we’re going to need for an oil and filter change today. We have oil, of course that is needed, there are different weights of oil; there’s a standard weight such as a single weight which is 30W, it stays the same at all temperatures. You have 10/30W, which is multi grade oil which stays 10W when it’s cold and as the engine warms up it stitches to a 30W for more protection. The next thing we need to move onto to is the oil filter, all the new cars, they use a small oil filter where the older cars use a larger one. The purpose of the oil filter, of course is to keep the engine clean and take the dirt out of the oil. I done this job several times and your hands do get dirty, so the best thing to do if you don’t want to keep scrubbing and scrubbing them with soap, which takes a long time to get them clean is use a lanolin base hand cleaner, that gets your hands clean fast. These are materials we need to do the oil and filter change today."
