Description: Who can change their oil faster – a mechanic or an engineer?! Engineering Explained and Humble Mechanic face off in an Oil Change Race Sponsored by Mobil 1 - mobil.com/en/lubricants/for-personal-vehicles/our-products/motor-oils/mobil-1-motor-oil-products Jason of Engineering Explained has challenged Charles of Humble Mechanic to a race. An Oil Change Race, that is. Jason has a degree in mechanical engineering and worked briefly as a test engineer. Charles went to trade school to become an automotive technician and worked within the industry for over 13 years. The rules are simple! Change the oil on your car. Whoever does it faster wins. The following steps are generally required for an oil change: 1. Lift the car/drive up on ramps. 2. Drain the oil. 3. Replace and torque the oil pan drain bolt. 4. Remove the oil filter and replace with a new filter. 5. Fill the engine with new oil. 6. Lower the car/drive off ramps. 7. Check for oil leaks. 8. Check the oil level. 9. Properly dispose/recycle the old oil. BUT, for the purposes of the race, timing starts when you pop the hood, and timing stops when the hood is closed, before steps 7 through 9. In reality, you should never rush automotive maintenance, as it can lead to mistakes. Always be thorough and take your time to get things right! Don't forget to check out my other pages below!
