If you think you’re an expert at changing engine oil, you may want to pay attention to this video. There are reasons that, you’ll discover, that will make you pay closer attention the next time you plan to change it yourself. You have to be careful to make sure the old oil seal is removed before replacing a new filter. It’s easy for the old seal to stick to the engine block. With two seals firmly in place, oil will squirt out and place your engine at risk for locking up.
The result is that the vehicle owner had to shell out thousands of dollar based on an error made with an inexpensive part. It’s the small things in life, the overlooked trivial things, that can sometime dig deep into our pockets. So, like anything worth doing, it pays to “pay” attention to what you’re doing. Check out the video. Hopefully it’s a piece of knowledge that you can use at some time in life.
