ACTIVITY #1

Research the steps in conducting ENGINE CHANGE OIL, emphasize the procedure
and other important details in performing the job.

This is a basic instruction sheet for how to perform an oil change.

Read all instructions prior to beginning procedure and follow each step in order. The
vehicles exhaust, as well as the other components under the vehicle, and the engine oil
may be hot. Always use caution when performing an oil change.

STEP 1: GATHER NEEDED TOOLS

Gather tools needed (oil, oil filter, oil drip pan, floor jack, jack stands, funnel, ratchet and socket
or wrench for oil drain plug, oil filter pliers and paper towels.) Check owner’s manual for oil type,
capacity, filter type and the jack locations for your vehicle.

STEP 2: JACK YOUR VEHICLE

Jack vehicle with floor jack and place jack stands under the vehicle. Ensure that the vehicle is
secured on the jack stands.

STEP 3: OIL CAP

Open the hood; remove the oil cap, place somewhere that you will not lose it.

STEP 4: DRAIN OIL

Locate the drain plug and place the oil pan under it. Remove the oil plug and allow the oil to
drain entirely. After the oil is drained, place the oil pan under the oil filter, remove it and allow
the remaining oil to drain.

STEP 5: INSTALL OIL FILTER AND PLUG

Apply a thin coating of oil on the seal of the new oil filter. Install oil filter hand tight plus a quarter
turn with oil filter pliers. Replace the drain plug so that it is finger tight, plus a quarter to half turn.
STEP 6: ADD OIL

Once the oil filter and drain plug are installed, add oil using a funnel. Replace the oil fill cap.
Remove tools and oil drain pan from under the vehicle. Remove jack stands and lower vehicle
off of floor jack and remove.

STEP 7: CHECK OIL

Wait five minutes for the oil to settle in the engine. Remove oil dipstick and wipe it off with a rag.
Reinstall it and remove it to accurately check your oil. Oil level should be between the add and
full lines near full. If it is not add oil and check again until it is. Reinstall dipstick.

STEP 8: FINAL CHECKS

Start vehicle, check for oil pressure and let run for a few minutes. Check under vehicle for leaks.
Shutoff vehicle and check oil level again. Record oil change. Follow the instructions for your
vehicle for resetting the oil change light if this feature is installed on your vehicle.

Improper sampling points and
hardware may result in
samples that are full of
historic data. Many plants
regard oil sampling as a
secondary function and simply
take samples from a drain
port or with the inconsistent
drop-tube method. In

frequently requires the
machine to be taken out of
service. This can result in
particles settling at the
bottom of the sump, which
may prevent a good, relative

Thorough documentation of
every task performed in the
lubrication program offers the
best method for creating
procedures. Procedures
should be developed with
best practices in mind and
may not represent what is
currently being done in your
plant. For instance, if new oil
is arriving and being put into
service without any testing or
decontamination, this is far
from best practice.
All machines to be included in
the oil analysis program
should be evaluated for the
proper sampling hardware.
Splash-bathed components
such as bearings and
gearboxes can be equipped
with minimize sampling valves
with pilot tube extensions. A
primary point is where
routine samples are drawn
from to provide a snapshot of
the entire system. The best
place for a primary sample is
on the main return-line
manifold, before any return-
line filters and in an area of
turbulent flow (most often an
elbow).
The best way to counteract
this problem is to standardize
with a single type of grease
gun so the output will be
similar for each one. Grease
guns should also be dedicated
to a single type of grease and
checked at least once a year.
If possible, bearings should be

Labeling is a key part of any

chance for cross-

confusion as to which

Developing a labeling scheme
takes time, but when done
properly, it can provide a
variety of information not

also about lubrication
intervals as well.
The best label design
incorporates a color/shape
scheme for each lubricant
used. This offers a quick visual
reference as to which
lubricant is inside the
machine.
