Windshield wipers
- Look in the car manual to ensure that you have the appropriate size wipers for your car.
- Pull the wipers up and away from the windshield.
- Press on the tab bellow the wiper to loosen the wiper blade, and then slide it off.
- Line up the new wiper blade at the top of the wiper arm and slide it down. Make sure that the wiper blade tabs are placed directly where the wiper arm opening is.
- Lock in the blade tightly and place the wipers back down on the windshield.
Air Filter
- Check in the car owner's manual where to find the air filter under the hood. It's usually located in a locked box.
- Once you've located it, open the box and check if the filter actually needs to be replaced.
- If you're ready to remove it, do it carefully! Don't let anything fall inside the air filter compartment.
- Once you have removed the air filter, carefully slide in the filter and lock the compartment back in place.

Oil Change
- Before starting the oil change, make sure you have bought the appropriate oil for your car.
- By using a jack, lift the car up from the ground.
- Retrieve an oil pan and place it underneath the oil plug. Using a wrench unplug the oil and let it fully drain.
- Locate the old oil filter under the hood and unscrew it out.
- Take the new oil filter and smear a small amount of the new oil on the ring. Place it where the old filter was located and screw it in.
- Once the old oil is fully drained, place the oil plug in tightly.
- Using a funnel, pour the new oil in under the hood. Plug the cap back on and make sure there are no leaks. And you're done!
