This 1:1 hands-on seminar goes in depth with the importance of the vehicle’s lubrication system and teaches you how to perform the most important maintenance item on every standard vehicle: changing the oil! You will receive personal 1:1 instruction on the steps needed to drain the oil, change the oil filter, and refill the engine with the proper grade and capacity. We will discuss important topics including: different types and grades of motor oil, safe jacking points and how to use ramps safely, maintenance schedules and resetting oil reminder lights, environmental concerns with oil spills and disposal, and so much more. In addition to receiving an oil change on your vehicle and the knowledge needed to do-it-yourself, you will also receive a custom printout with all of the critical info such as oil type, capacity, and torque specs to make your next oil change easier! All materials including oil and oil filter are included in the cost of the ticket. You don’t want to miss this comprehensive, step-by-step tutorial on one of the most DIY friendly repairs in the car world. Please send an email to info@westphillytools.org with your vehicle's year, make, model, trim, and engine as well as if your last oil change was conventional or synthetic, and your license plate number and state.
