it doesn’t matter. the dipstick should have lines on it that specify how high the oil is whether it’s cold or hot.
hey…stmc247
thats only for an oil change…
but if ur jus gonna refill it..u DNT have to drain it..
lik i said..thats only for an oil change that u have to drain it
do we need to drain out the remaining oil before adding more oil? ’cause when i have my car to have an oil change, that guy told me that they are gonna drain the oil and refill.
Synthetic oil is the best.
Do you check your oil with the engine warm or cold from sitting overnight?
I can so not tell that those are Quakerstate Moble 1 and Valveoline!
Expert Village should only have Jeff Wong do these car videos. His videos are actually in-dept and many are over 3-4 minutes long compared to the usual 1-2 minutes from other EV videos.
these vids R really useful !!
thanks for the vid.. just got a new car and i need to know the basics.
It does say BASIC car care. Anyway you watched it didnt you? Haha
Moreover, you have to make sure you park your car on level ground.
Your videos are very well thought out and clearly explained. There is so much crap on Youtube, it’s refreshing to see high-quality videos like your’s.
