Oil Change

Oil change - over and under-filling

I don’t know how to correct an over-filled oil tank, so it’s better to underfill and top off additional oil later. When you change your oil while on top of tire ramps you won’t get all of the oil out when you empty it. So, when you refill, fill with less than the recommended amount, then use the dipstick to check your levels and add more to get to the desired oil level. It’s important obviously to understand how much oil your car holds at any given time (Google).

Tire changes and torque

When you look up the appropriate torque for your tires, make sure you find an accurate website for it. Don’t use Chatgpt. You need to know this number because safe driving requires properly torqued tires.

Spray nozzle replacement issue

The plastic spray nozzle I purchased on Amazon wasn’t of a good quality (didn’t let window cleaner through). So, I used a small drill bit to create a large passage for the liquid and that repaired the issue.
