Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils.

Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

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. You will also receive an email from us, if we do not hear from you. This information is needed ASAP to ensure we have your correct oil type and filter.

Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

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. You will also receive an email from us, if we do not hear from you. This information is needed ASAP to ensure we have your correct oil type and filter. If we do not get this information from you at least one week before the class, your appointment will be cancelled without credit or refund. Please also plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment time. As the instructor is booked for a specific time slot and there may be other appointments booked before or after you, please be on-time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment will be cancelled without credit or refund. Also please consider paying more, if you are able, to help cover the costs of hosting this class and others like it. ------ A few notes about our updated pricing: Each vehicle requires a different quantity and grade of oil as well as different costs for filters and other hardware which makes standardized class pricing difficult. -For example: a Toyota Highlander requires almost double the oil quantity as a smaller Honda Fit. Additionally, some oil grades such as 0w-16 are more expensive than other fully synthetic grades, which are all more expensive than conventional motor oils. WPTL's aims to provide affordable class programming to everyone in the community, including this class. The cost of oil has increased by 30% in 2026 alone. Since we are only a tool library, we do not receive any discounts or volume-based pricing agreements that would help reduce our costs.

In this first course, you will learn about all different types of saws, drills, and typical tools needed to hang a heavy backlit wall mounted mirror. You might be asking, why a heavy backlit wall mounted mirror? Well, it applies to a very common household DIY project - how to properly mount an object like a TV, projector, or coat rack that must be hung properly to avoid injury. We also don't have a huge stock of heavy backlit wall mounted mirrors, so we will cut a mirror-shaped template out of plywood to mimic it. Thus this class gives students experience to a wide range of tools and materials, which is the goal of Tools and Skills: Part 1! We will use the following tools during this class: Miter saw Pocket hole jig Laser level/bubble level Drill/impact driver Rotary hammer drill with SDS Plus bits Circular Saw Jig Saw Stud Finder Inspection Camera Different measuring tools You will also get experience working with: Drywall Dimensional lumber Plywood Drywall Anchors Tapcon Concrete Anchors Different blades for different saws above This is a hands-on class - so get ready to get your hands dirty and try out some basic tools and skills at the West Philly Tool Library!
