Frequent oil changes are essential for a vehicle's engine because aging oil can become diluted and contaminated, which can lead to premature engine wear and damage.

Raise the vehicle, place a drain pan under the drain plug, and carefully remove the plug. Inspect the drained oil for metal shavings and chips. Wipe off the plug and clean the surrounding area before reinstalling and tightening it.

Vehicle owners should ensure they have all necessary tools and ample rags or newspapers to handle potential spills during the oil change.

Start by removing the engine lower covers for better access to the oil filter.

To perform an oil change, you'll need tools and equipment such as a drain pan, rubber gloves, breaker bar, socket, and filter wrench.

Performing regular oil changes is essential for maintaining your vehicle's engine health as aged and contaminated oil can lead to premature engine wear. Ensure you have all the necessary tools and ample rags or newspapers for cleaning up spills before beginning the procedure. Operating the vehicle until it reaches normal operating temperature is recommended as warm engine oil drains more effectively. To access the vehicle's underside, you can lift it on a hoist, drive onto ramps, or support it with jackstands. Familiarize yourself with the oil drain plug's location if it's your first oil change, anticipating potential issues before the engine and accessories heat up. Park the vehicle on level ground, turn off the hybrid system, and remove the filler cap on the valve cover. Then, raise the vehicle, supporting it with jackstands, and open the access door in the engine lower splash shield for 2010 and later models or remove the lower engine splash shield for 2009 and earlier models to access the oil pan drain plug and oil filter housing. Place a drain pan beneath the drain plug, carefully unscrew it (consider wearing gloves if the engine is hot), and allow the old oil to drain into the pan. Examine the drained oil for any metal shavings or chips. After draining, wipe the drain plug clean and ensure the drain plug opening is free of residue. Reinstall and tighten the drain plug, then move the drain pan under the oil filter. Loosen the oil filter or oil filter housing by turning it counterclockwise with an oil filter wrench, and once loose, tilt it to drain into the pan. Wipe the engine's mounting face clean and ensure no old O-ring remains stuck to the engine. Compare the old and new filters to ensure they match, lubricate the new filter's O-ring with engine oil, and install it by hand. In the case of 2010 and later models, replace the old O-ring, clean the housing, lubricate the new O-ring, and install the new filter. Tighten the filter or filter housing by hand according to the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, remove all tools, rags, and equipment from under the vehicle, ensuring no oil is spilled, and lower the vehicle, closing the access door for 2010 and later models if applicable. Add new oil to the engine through the oil filler cap, using a funnel to prevent spills. Allow the oil to drain into the pan for a few minutes, then check the oil level using the dipstick, adding more oil if needed. Start the engine and let it run briefly, then turn it off and recheck the oil level. In the days following the oil change, monitor for leaks and ensure the oil level remains correct. Properly dispose of the used oil, and reset the oil change light as per your owner's manual instructions.

Frequent oil and filter changes are crucial preventative maintenance procedures for DIY owners. As engine oil ages, it becomes diluted and contaminated, leading to premature engine wear. Before starting the procedure, gather all necessary tools and materials, including clean rags and newspapers for spills. It's best if the engine oil is warm for easier draining and removal of built-up sludge. Be cautious of hot engine parts and wear gloves to protect against scalding and harmful contaminants in used engine oils. Firmly apply the handbrake, jack up the front of the car, and support it on axle stands. Remove the engine lower covers for better access to the oil filter. Remove the oil filler cap and dipstick. Use a spanner or socket and bar to loosen the drain plug, position a draining container underneath, and remove the plug completely. Allow the oil to drain, repositioning the container as needed. Wipe the drain plug, inspect the seal/washer, and replace if damaged. Clean the area around the drain plug opening, then securely refit the plug. Position the container under the oil filter and use a removal tool to loosen and unscrew the filter by hand. Empty the oil from the old filter into the container and clean the sealing area. Apply a light coating of clean engine oil to the sealing ring of the new filter and screw it into place by hand. Remove all old oil and tools from under the car, then lower the car to the ground. Fill the engine through the filler hole with the correct grade and type of oil, adding half the specified quantity first and waiting for it to drain into the sump. Continue adding oil in small quantities until the level is up to the lower mark on the dipstick. Starting the engine, check for leaks around the oil filter seal and sump drain plug. The oil pressure warning light may take a few seconds to go out initially. Stop the engine, wait for the oil to settle, and recheck the level on the dipstick, adding more oil if necessary. Dispose of the used engine oil safely.
