=== Tips ===
* Oil should be 140°F-160° F [60°-71°C].
* If using the suction method, cut the end of the tube at a 45 degree angle.
* Warm the engine slightly so the oil flows easily and then it usually won't suck the tube closed.
* Run the engine for 5 to 10 minutes to heat up and thin the oil.
* Turn off engine prior to removing oil.
* Make sure the car is level. If not, you won't be getting all of the oil out of the pan, no matter which method you use.
* Forget about refilling the new oil via the Oil Filler Cap.  While you have the [[oil filter]] assembly out, pour the fresh oil down that huge hole. Less chance to spill, no funnel needed and no funnel to clean up afterwards.
* If using the oil drain method be sure to put the drain plug back before refilling.
