Third project, Oil Change

Okay, oil changes on these trucks are the easiest thing known to man.

Things you need:

• 10W-30 SAE motor oil, DO NOT run synthetic, cast iron motors were not ment for it
• If it's been sitting for a while you are going to want to buy an extra 3-4 quarts but other wise you only need 5 quarts
• Oil filter, go to your nearest auto parts store and get the cheapest one, they are all the same, I'd prefer FRAM because thats what I use
• Drain pan
• Old rags
• Wrenches

First:

• Underneath your truck is an oil pan

• You Take out the drain plug and let the oil drain into a pan
• Let it drain untill the oil slows to a drip then SNUG the drain plug when u tighten it, you don't wanna strip that
• Next to the oil pan is the oil filter, unscrew that and let the oil drain out

If your truck has been sitting (Over a year):

• Put the new filter in
• Top off the oil (5 Quarts-ish)
• Start it and let it run for a while
• Turn it of and drain the oil again
• You don't need to replace the filter
• Tighten drain plug and re-fill with oil

Finishing up:

• Write down some where, preferably a sticker on your window, how much milage you have on your truck when you did the oil change PLUS 3,000 miles, because that's when you want to do it again
• Make sure you are at the full line with oil
• You're done :)

Disposing of the oil:

• Take it to your local dump, they sould have a facility for used motor oil
