I bought a used Ford Ranger and I'm not sure how to change the oil on it. Can anyone walk me through the steps?
ReplyHi Samantha, changing the oil on your Ford Ranger is a relatively simple process. First, make sure you have the correct type and amount of oil, as well as a new oil filter. Then, locate the oil drain plug and oil filter under the engine, and place a pan underneath to catch the old oil. Once drained, replace the oil filter and pour in the new oil according to your owner's manual. Remember to dispose of the old oil properly. Hope this helps!
Hi Samantha, I've been changing my own oil for years and have some advice for you. Before draining the old oil, warm up your truck for a few minutes to thin out the oil and make it easier to drain. Additionally, consider investing in a good oil filter wrench to make removal easier. Finally, make sure to check your oil level after the first drive to be sure the correct amount of oil was added. Hope this helps!
Hi Samantha, I used to work at a Ford dealership and have some tips for you. First, always use a new oil filter, never reuse an old one. Secondly, consider using a synthetic oil for better engine protection. And finally, make sure to tighten the drain plug and oil filter properly to avoid leaks. Hope this helps!
