Changing Oil the Right Way

It's more than a simple "drain and fill"...
How often you should change your car's oil depends on when it was built. On cars manufactured before oil filters were common, you need to change the oil every thousand miles in order to prevent sludge buildup in the pan and oil galleries. On cars from the late thirties, forties and fifties, every two thousand miles is usual. More modern cars only require an oil change every three to six thousand miles to keep them in the pink.
Changing oil is no big deal, but there is a right and wrong way to do it. Click here for the right way. Also, see Lube chart
