Oil Change How to

Great first video on a Clarity oil change! Well done, Sir, well done.
May I suggest reminders to have chocks behind the rear shells when using ramps and 2 lift different systems in place for safety. (Just in case a ramp collapses or car rolls off).
I use jack stands and my hydraulic jack and a stout group of 4x4s where I’m working. Never can be too safe.
Also maybe adding banners about always using a new crush washer, lubricanting the new filter gasket (which you showed), checking that old gasket stayed in filter not engine block (don’t ask how I know this makes a huge mess), sizes of wrenches for drain plug and filter, and torque values. Ana maybe one on checking level after warm up and on level ground.
Then you’d move from a 99.9 to 100% clarity.

My car had the first oil change at 6000 miles. I asked the service manager how often and he said the engine does not require a break-in period so between 6K and 9K miles would work. I had 4 updates plus another little problem so I decided to just take it in and get the latest updates and get it over with.

4.scroll down and select "maintenance information"
5.take note of which maintenance reminder and select that maintenance item to reset, or to select All Due Items (You can also select Cancel to end the process).
6.Press the ENTER button to reset the selected item.
7.Repeat from step 4 for other items you wish to reset.
