Step 11Over the Top
Orient the jug like this when you start pouring in the new oil. It's a lot easier to hit the target that way.
If you don't have the spout at the high point, oil will come glurping out and splash all over your engine.
The oil that gets on your exhaust manifold will make a burning oil smell and it will be harder to sell your car.
If you don't know how much oil to add you can check the dipstick to see when you've added enough. Don't trust it unless your car is level and you give the oil plenty of time to flow to the stick.
Your manual will tell you how much oil to add. It's usually 5 quarts. If your car takes more than that you are probably an evil person who drives a greedy fat dirty SUV that gives athsma to babies.
Some classic small vehicles have large oil capacity and other features that make them last forever.
Cars that last forever do not contribute to the "embodied pollution" etc. of new vehicle manufacture.
If you drive one of these, get a few bumper stickers that educate other drivers.
