How to Change the Engine Oil in Your Car

Model: Chrysler Pt Cruiser MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Engine oil

After a certain number of miles driven by your car, the engine oil needs to be changed. It is a fairly simple procedure that can be done without the help of a mechanic, thus saving a considerable amount of money. You just need to have a reasonable level of manual dexterity.
To carry out the operation, first remove the screw that holds the oil tank securely. Use the spanner to unscrew the engine oil filter and place a container underneath to collect any residual oil. Finally, lubricate the gasket that will come into contact with the engine as best as possible.
