My mentor told me that the next time we met we were going to change his car's oil, he owns a 2003 Toyota Tundra which is a very big truck for me to get to and do this job. First, he told me that we need to use the correct type of oil we're going to use on the truck that is located on the oil cap. When performing this operation on the car we used 5W-30 oil and a couple steps when doing this job. Step 1) Lift the car up with floor jack (Crank up at a certain height to get under the car) 2) Place an oil pan under car and remove oil plug (Turn counterclockwise) 3) Wait 4) Replace oil filter 5) Add new oil. Always change your oil every 3,000 miles. I got my hands really dirty but it was pretty fun and a great experience, now I know how to change oil on a car! He told me that we need to dispose the motor oil properly, so we went to the nearest O'reilly Auto Parts and disposed it there. On the last blog I talked about distributors, he said that he's going to show me the inside of it and how to line up the points. He told me its important to have the points lined up because its what helps and provide the engine to ignite. For the rest of the day i was just being an assistant to my mentor and helped clean up the mess I made, he also took me out to eat for doing a great job changing the oil on his car. I hope to learn more tasks in the future with my mentor.
