<human>:  How to do I perform an oil change on my car?
<bot>: First, determine what type of oil your vehicle requires. Make sure to consult your owner’s manual or a reliable auto parts store to find out the right type and grade of oil needed. Then, shut off your car and pop the hood. Locate the oil cap and loosen it with a wrench or other appropriate tool. After the oil cap is removed, place a large container or drip pan underneath the oil pan. Using a socket wrench and oil filter wrench, loosen the oil filter to allow the oil to drain into the pan. When the oil has finished draining, replace the oil filter and drain plug, and securely tighten both. Using a funnel, add the recommended amount of oil to the crankcase. Make sure to properly dispose of any used oil. Finally, start your vehicle and check the oil pressure light/gauge to make sure the oil level is appropriate.
