"Okay we're getting really close to the end. What we're going to go ahead and do now is we're going to add the new oil. And I want to talk about the amount of oil really quickly. For this particular vehicle, we're going to more than likely add five quarts. And it's a really good idea to check as you're adding, especially once you get to say, you know three or four quarts, to go ahead and check. Continually check your oil dipstick to see that you're getting the right amount of oil in your car. Because you definitely don't want to under fill it, but you don't want to over fill it either because both are bad. So just make sure you try and hit that mark that is recommended on the dipstick. And also a good place to find that information as to how much your car will hold, is your owner's manual or repair manuals are good resources for you. So I'm going to go ahead and add some oil to this car. So go ahead and put the funnel right there. Just, and this oil is right where we took the engine oil cap off. So we'll go ahead and add one of these oil quarts. And it's pretty simple. I mean it's adding oil, the funnel makes it so much easier so you don't have to. You know if you spill some oil on the engine it's not a huge thing, but kind of makes your engine kind of dirty. And it also will smoke off as it's, as your engine gets hot. So we're going try to avoid that. So we're going to go ahead and add the rest of this oil to the car, and we'll be set for a quick check over and be done."

on 6/5/2009 Just a comment for those of us that happen to spill oil on our garage floow while we are changing oil....I found a new product that remediates oil and fuel if you happen to spill oil. I always spill oil when performing this task....The product is called Oil Gone Easy Home and Driveway S-200. You can read about the product on Wiki. Oil Gone Easy has actually been used to clean up major oil spills such as the Valdez in Alaska. Finally - a green way to clean up your spills! Hope this helps.
