Let's Get Started

Now, let's dive into the step-by-step process of servicing your car at home using AMSOIL products.

Oil Change

Regular oil changes are essential for maintaining engine health and performance. Here's how to perform an oil change using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil:
  • Gather Your Supplies: You'll need a wrench, oil filter wrench, oil drain pan, funnel, and, of course, your choice of AMSOIL synthetic motor oil and oil filter.
  • Drain the Oil: Start by locating the oil drain plug underneath your car and place the oil drain pan beneath it. Use a wrench to loosen the drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely.
  • Replace the Oil Filter: Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old oil filter. Before installing the new filter, apply a thin layer of oil to the rubber gasket to ensure a proper seal.
  • Refill with AMSOIL: Use a funnel to refill the engine with your chosen AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, following the manufacturer's recommendations for oil viscosity and quantity.
  • Dispose of Old Oil: Properly dispose of the old oil and filter at a recycling center or automotive store that accepts used oil.

  • Remove the Old Filter: Open the housing and carefully remove the old air filter. Inspect it for any signs of dirt or damage.
  • Install the New Filter: Place the new air filter into the housing, ensuring it is properly seated and the housing is securely closed.

Fuel System Cleaning

Over time, deposits can build up in the fuel system, affecting performance and fuel efficiency. Here's how to clean your fuel system using AMSOIL fuel additives and ace DIY car servicing:
  • Choose the Right Additive: AMSOIL offers a P.I.® Performance Improver Gasoline Additive designed to clean fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers.

  • Drive: Drive your car as you normally would, allowing the additive to clean the fuel system as you go.

Transmission Fluid Change

  • Locate the Transmission Fluid Pan: The transmission fluid pan is typically located underneath the car and is secured with bolts.
  • Drain the Fluid: Place a drain pan beneath the transmission fluid pan and remove the bolts to drain the old fluid.
  • Replace the Filter (if applicable): Some vehicles have a transmission fluid filter that should be replaced along with the fluid. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions.
