Tools

As any good mechanic can tell you,
there are few worse experience than trying to work on a car without the
neccessary tools. To change the oil in your car you should have the following
basic tools:
| Ramps |
|
|
| *Wrench |
|
 |
| Funnel |
|
|
| Drain pan (at least 6 quart capacity) |
|
|
| Oil Filter Wrench |
|
 |
In addition to these items there are
some others which are not absolutely necessary, but handy to have around:
| Adjustable wrench |
|
|
| Safety goggles |
|
|
| Creeper |
|
 |
| Lots of rags |
|
|
For safety precautions, you should
have soapy water or waterless hand cleaners because prolonged skin contact
with used motor oil is harmful.
* The
size wrench depends on the size of the oil drain plug.
