Why Change Motor Oil?

Remove Suspended Contaminants Replenish Additives

Motor Oil Spark Ignition Engines

SA through SM SM: For all automotive engines currently in use.

Introduced November 30, 2004, SM oils are designed to provide improved oxidation resistance, improved deposit protection, better wear protection, and better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil.

Compression Ignition Engines CA through CI-4

CI-4: Introduced in 2002. For high-speed, four-stroke engines designed to meet 2004 exhaust emission standards implemented in 2002.

API Certification Mark

An oil displaying this mark meets the current engine protection standard and fuel economy requirements

API “Donut” (Gas)

Oil Viscosity

Multi-grade oils such as SAE 5W-30 and 10W-30 are the most widely used.

They are thin enough to flow at low temperatures and thick enough to perform satisfactorily at high temperatures.

For use under all but extremely hot or cold conditions

Oil Viscosity

Conventional Vs. Synthetic

Conventional motor oils are derived from petroleum Cheap Many contaminants

Conventional Vs. Synthetic

Synthetic oils are replicas manufactured from chemicals in a laboratory Have a pure base Increase drain intervals

2-5 X

Oil Filter Used to strain the engine oil thus

removing abrasive particles. Spin-On - can-like container Cartridge - look like small air filters

which fit into a canister.

Lube, Oil, and Filter

Remove Filter Using an oil filter wrench, turn the filter

counterclockwise until it's free. Be careful with it, it's still full of old oil.

Lube, Oil, and Filter Prepare Filter

Clean filter mounting surface Lubricate the rubber gasket on the end

of the filter with some new oil. Prime filter (if feasible)

Lube, Oil, and Filter Install Filter

You don't need a wrench to install the new oil filter

3/4 to 1 Full turn after the gasket touches the housing

Lube, Oil, and Filter Drain Oil
