Anyone here do your own oil change ? I always do my own oil change since my uncle advice me years ago to do it DIY because the service station don't do it properly. I always change my oil every 5k religiously. I usually drain the used oil in the night and add the new one in the next morning. It is not hard to do once you get use to it. What do you do with the used oil ? I hope you don't throw it inside the longkang...

To change the oil filter I use oil filter pliers which I bought at RM 30 if I'm not mistaken.

If you wait for 1 hour or so, you can still see the used motor oil continue dripping out from the crankcase. So to make sure the old oil completely drain out, you need to wait several hours before refilling with new motor oil.

I got to say that is is quite hard to make oil change for Kancil because you have to open the car plate number in order to change the oil filter. I have never seen your oil filter wrench before locally. I thought this type of wrench only sold overseas...
