I knew for a few days I needed to change the oil in the #CheapJeep, but I had to put it off due to being sick. Today I finally felt a little better, so I decided to go ahead and change that before our Seattle trip. Also we have a super annoying beeper that goes off when it's time to change it, so I always do it before it starts yelling at us.

Oh, also, after I wrapped this up I worked on that little woodworking project for a fellow Steemian, I can't wait to share that with you soon!

Really quick: How do you say oil? Is it 'ol' or 'oye yuhl'? Asking for a friend.

After locating the oil cap, I like to place it on the hood latch so I don't shut the hood without forgetting to put it on.

After locating the drain plug (it's very easy to find), a 14mm socket and ratchet was used to loosen it.

Don't forget to have your drain pan under there!

While it's draining or after it's done and the drain plug is reinstalled, I like to locate the oil filter. This one is on the passenger side of the engine.

I make sure the gasket on the old filter isn't still stuck to the engine block. If it was I would pull it off, if I didn't then the new gasket would not seal and i'd have a big mess on my hands the floor.

Before putting the filter back on, I poured it about 3/4 full with fresh oil to 'prime' it. Only hand tighten.

After you get the filter on, all that's left is refill your engine with oil and reinstall your cap! I used 10w30 oil to refill mine, and it took 5 quarts. Use your owner's manual or google to find your car's oil capacity. That's it!
