"Hi, I’m Dean Donnel for expertvillage.com. Now we’re going to add the new oil to the car. The first thing you need to do is find the oil cap where you’re going to add the oil.

Also when you change the oil it’s good to keep the same oil weight that you use before, the same oil weight is a good point. There’s several different oils out on the market, today we’re using 20/50 weight, there’s also synthetic oils and other brands out there but I prefer not to use synthetic oil.
