Let the motor oil drain well when changing the oil!

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Engine oil

Video tutorial

What we show in the video is not nitpicking, but distinguishes a job well done from one done in a hurry. What drips after hours is used and dirty oil, which if left in the engine, immediately contaminates the newly added oil, reducing its lubricating and cleaning capabilities right away: it's like putting clean water in a dirty tub. Modern engines are full of passages, cavities, galleries, and components that hold oil inside them.

Gravity takes time, and mechanics cannot afford to keep a car dripping on the lift for hours. So for us DIY enthusiasts, the recommendation is to let the oil drain as much as possible, even overnight.

A workshop trick is to gently blow compressed air into the fill spout to help push down the residual oil.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
