Change oil checklist
Performing oil change is one fundamental aspect of vehicle maintenance. Fresh and new oil implants vehicle and engine performance and longevity. This process begins by draining the oil from the engine because old oil can have sludge and dirt that build up over time. The oil filter mentioned before traps dirt and debris stopping them from being circulated in your car and causing damage. The technicians at Al Bedayer use a comprehensive oil change checklist to make sure everything is done correctly.
Importance of regular oil change and change oil checklist
If you want your car to maintain its health and performance over time. It’s important to keep it lubricated with engine oil, engine oil reduces friction meaning when parts are colliding with each other in the engine their movement is fluid and without heat. Overtime oil is used and loses its effectiveness so it requires an oil change. Following an oil replacement checklist can prevent many major problems from happening. To ensure all the car manufacturer standards we use an oil change checklist.

Steps for changing your oil
Once you have everything you need, prepare the vehicle by parking it on a level surface, and allow the engine to cool if you’ve recently used the car. Secure the car and lift the vehicle using a jack.
Look for and locate the oil drain plug. Place the pan under the drain plug to catch the old oil. Use the socket wrench to loose up and remove the drain plug.
Allow the old oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug. And then replace the oil filter. Be careful as it may contain some oil before completely replacing it however apply some of the new oil to it to ensure a good seal.
Finally add the new oil to the engine using a funnel, after that, you can check the level using a dipstick to see if it’s filled or not.
The oil change checklist at al bedayer garage includes engine fluid check and tightening fittings as well.
Draining the old oil
Draining the old oil is one of the critical steps in the oil change process. There are some safety tips to consider, if you have been using your car recently the oil that you are about the replace can be extremely hot. Using a socket wrench try to loose the drain plug and let the oil flow freely into the drain. It can take several minutes for the oil to completely exit the car so be patient.
Replacing the oil filter
Replacing the oil filter is one of the crucial processes that helps maintain your car. It ensures that the engine is clean and effective providing optimal performance. It may be hard to know where is the oil filter located, depending on the type of your car it be different.
Our technicians at al bedayer garage are here to help if you cannot find the oil filter. Typically most oil filters are located near the oil pan or the engine block but it can vary depending on the vehicle type.

You need to check the rubber gasket that is not stuck to the engine. A leftover gasket can stop the filter from sealing completely causing issues for your vehicle.
Adding new oil
Adding new oil is the final step in the oil change process, once we are done draining the old we have the vehicle ready for the new oil. Pouring the new oil into the vehicle as specified by the manufacturer can be a little bit challenging. Add the oil slowly and check the level with a dipstick to ensure you aren’t overflowing the car. Replace the oil filler cap and let the engine run for a few minutes to let it circulate the new oil.
