By Darnell X Hardin

When you are about to change the oil in your car, you have the choice. You can do it in the Quick lube or you can do it by yourself. You will find that the cost that you have to spend for changing he oil in the quick lube will be much higher than you do it by yourself. Although changing the oil is not easy you will find that this is quite fun when you can do it by yourself. To help you, you can use pump to do the job.

Before hanging the oil, you should remove the old oil from your car. This is the process when you can use the pump. For this, you can choose the type of pump that you want. If you want to have one that is less expensive, you can choose simple pump that can be used by attaching it to the end of the electric drill. Also, you can choose motorized model with more money that you have to spend. Additionally, you can also choose the suction model. This uses the negative air pressure to pull out the oil.

You can start removing the old oil by running the engine of your vehicle for few minutes. This will heat the oil that makes it easy to pump. Then you have to shut off the engine and remove the oil. And then, you should insert small hose of the pump into the dipstick. In this case, you have to make sure that you insert the suction part of the hose. You should pull it until it reaches the bottom of the oil pan.

After that, you should place discharge tube to store the old oil that. Then you can start sucking the oil and make sure that the oil pan is totally dried. You can do the suction by turning the valve to the "flow" position so that the oil can be sucked perfectly. After you have completed the suction, you should remove the hose and wipe the pulled out oil. Then, you should replace the dipstick. Finally, you can change the oil with the new oil after you have finished with the suction process.
