Is Your Car Crying? The Secret to a Happy Engine

Your car needs fresh oil to run well every day.

The oil keeps the engine cool and very clean.

Old oil becomes dirty and thick over many months.

Dirty oil can hurt the engine of your car.

You should change the oil every five thousand miles.

First, you must park the car on flat ground.

Wait for the engine to cool down before you start.

Find the oil drain plug under the car body.

Put a large plastic pan under the oil plug.

Open the plug slowly to let the old oil out.

Wear gloves to keep your hands clean and safe.

Next, you need to remove the old oil filter.

Put a little new oil on the new filter seal.

Tighten the new filter carefully with your own hands.

Close the drain plug tightly with a small wrench.

Open the hood to find the oil fill cap.

Pour the fresh oil into the engine using a funnel.

Check the oil level with the long metal dipstick.

Close the cap and start your engine for a minute.

Now your car is ready for a long road trip.
