   great video, but only one problem. on every single vehicle i’ve worked on, and i work on them every day, from the lowest line on the dipstick to the highest, always takes a full quart, not a half.

   @GoldsteinBaruch if you change your oil every 3 to 5k, all oil is pretty much the same. synthetic oils are good for extended periods of time.

   @stmc247 yes, they have to drain the old oil in order to change it.

    @Oneartfuldodger
    it doesn’t matter. the dipstick should have lines on it that specify how high the oil is whether it’s cold or hot.

    do we need to drain out the remaining oil before adding more oil? ’cause when i have my car to have an oil change, that guy told me that they are gonna drain the oil and refill.

    Do you check your oil with the engine warm or cold from sitting overnight?

    Expert Village should only have Jeff Wong do these car videos. His videos are actually in-dept and many are over 3-4 minutes long compared to the usual 1-2 minutes from other EV videos.

    Moreover, you have to make sure you park your car on level ground.

    Your videos are very well thought out and clearly explained. There is so much crap on Youtube, it’s refreshing to see high-quality videos like your’s.
