Melanin Moms on the Move

Changing engine oil and filter is very simple. It took us maybe 30 minutes. Let’s save time and $$$. The ten minute oil change place charge like $90 and the other places is like $70 and over a hour. I don’t like wasting time or money. So I did it myself and had my son help so he can add this to the list of things he can do. Plus he’ll be a great asset to his future wife and daughter(s). Make sure you look up or look in your car’s manual for the proper items you need for your vehicle. Here is a list of things we used.

Depending on your vehicle:

  • full synthetic 5w-30 motor oil
  • PBL15436 filter
  • 32mm oil filter socket
  • 15mm socket
    Normal stuff:
  • ratchet wrench
  • drip pan
  • funnel
  • car jack lift
  • something to choke the wheel (one wheel is good front and back)
  • paper towels or towel
  • gloves (optional)
