This video has trained me to change the oil on the 3 cars in my driveway. I’ve been doing it myself for about a year. I still rewatch before most oil changes just to make sure I’m not forgetting anything. Incredibly thorough and great advice. Not only has saved me money on oil changes but gives me peace of mind knowing the job is done right. Thanks Chrisfix for all you do!
Good to hear I have the same goal
Hey Chris, my dad was in prison when I learned to drive. You have honestly been there for me when I most needed it. You taught me how to buy a car, how to fix it and now how to care for it. Thank you so much

Your parents must be idiots lmao
I'm still on the parents permission to work on your own vehicle, part.
@@uraweeb3521 same here, just changed it today but was told to bring it in and have someone else do it. I thought why not save the money🤷🏾♂️.
I am 65 years old and I have never touched under the bonnet of a car to do anything other than to check the oil levels in my entire life. Times are now tough and I cant afford to get the car serviced so thought I would have ago. I don't have jacks or stands so i used the suggestion of driving the car up onto the gutter, it was still pretty tight under there but i was able to wiggle under there, and let me tell you at 65 that was no mean feat.
Thank god for KRplus and Chris Fix !!
First problem was not having a breaker bar or a piece of steel pipe that my wrench could fit into so I just put my foot on the short wrench and did a leg press and the bolt came off just fine. My mistake was letting the bolt drop into the oil pan, I forgot about the crush washer which separated from the bolt, it took me a while to figure out why there was an oil leak later when I refilled it.. doh.
Then I had to get the crush washer back on and I had already filled the car with oil, so that turned into an engine oil flush because for the life of me I couldn't get the bolt with the crush washer on it into the hole and threaded properly with the oil pissing out all over the place. What was worrying about that was the oil that I had just put into the engine was just as black as the old oil but I am ignoring that for the time being. I have ordered a Fumoto Engine Oil Drain Valve which I hope will make future oil changes a lot easier
Second problem was no tool to remove the oil filter , so rather than hammer a screw driver through it to make a handle I decided to drill through it which i thought was a bit safer than hitting it with a hammer, sadly the oil poured out all over the drill and me but I did get it off in the end.
Third problem I think was that I forgot to put oil in the new oil filter, when I tried to start the car it turned over with a slapping sound from the engine then stopped , tried again and same thing, I got out and checked for leaks and the oil level and all was ok, got back in and tried again and the car started, at that point I was able to stop crying. All is now well., not really sure what that was all about but the car is running fine now.
The moral of this long winded story is that you should always follow the experts advice and have the right tools available and follow instructions to the letter.
Thanks Chris you are a legend !!!
👏 well done
Wow you wrote da bible! Great job!

Very nice! Im 29 years old and just did my first oil change a month ago watching ChrisFix do it. Living in NYC i did it outside of an autozone parking lot cause its hard to do it on the streets with cars whizzing past you.
I’m a lady and I appreciate these videos especially because I’ve asked countless times and no one in my life has taken the time to help teach me 🙄 thanks!
IKR. I'm buying a cheap car using my part time job saving's. I'm gonna use it to experiment on it. Like learning how to change my oil on it.
I'm looking forward to being the first teen girl in my family who works on cars
Any gals out here? I’m gonna learn…

I’m about to do my first only change :) I’m too scared to go get someone else to do it. Might as well learn and save money

How did it go? If you haven't done it yet, it's always a good idea to have someone who is more experienced helping you for the first time.
@@thinshadow551 definitely
There were a couple of girls in my H.S. auto shop class. I thought that it was cool that they wanted to learn how to do basic repairs and maintenance.
@@thinshadow551 hey sorry for the late response I had people offer me help but it’s actually pretty easy the autozone guy gave me a completely wrong oil filter tho so that kind of messed me up had to back track and put the other one back on to drive down there and get a new one and I forgot to put the old o ring back on so oil came out but after I figured out it was the o ring I put it on and put more oil in drive and got the right one and it was done!

I bought a racheting wrench for taking off the battery terminal bolts to scrape the crud off to start the vehicle. Within 2 weeks I own 2 torque wrenches, 3 sized ratchets, 250 sockets, car ramps, multimeter, 3 ton jack with 2 stands and a creeper, and a 20qt drain pan. That escalated quickly.

I know this video is 6 years old but it just helped me change my own engine oil today. Thanks so much Chris! I never thought I would be able to do something like this before! It was great fun!
Personally, I prefer flipping my car at a high speed so I can easily access the underside of the vehicle without needing to buy a jack or ramps.
Leonardo Datore brilliant 😂
I prefer setting off c4 explosive underneath the car in order to flip it in a confined space.

1:22 this was such a brilliant tip. I did my oil change using the kerb method. There I was scouring internet for cheap ramps. This method saved me money and storage space of ramps if I had purchased them. Thanks for the great tip.

Triggered True but decreased demand in their services will lead to lower servicing prices and parts might be cheaper at the dealership. Supply and Demand.

I watched this video about seven times before doing my first oil change. I'm only sixteen right now, but your channel has not only inspired me to do an oil change when needed, and get better products for the same price, but completely rethink the way I look at vehicles. I know this is an older video, but I look forward to seeing more from you. And btw, the oil change took a 2009 ram 1500 from somewhat unpredictable and vibrating to smooth, predictable and quiet. I did the change with my dad. He had been talking about taking his truck into the shop to switch to synthetic, but I showed him this video, and we did it ourselves. Just a not so short story, and a huge thank you for pretty much changing my future for the better.

Hey bud, I’m 15 and I have been working on cars for a while now. For my 15th b-day my mom gave me a 91 Jeep XJ Cherokee limited. Ever since then I have made it perform like new from factory! Even before then I used to live in the woods and my dad was a mechanic so I just watched him and helped him ever since I was like 10. If your dad is a mechanic, I suggest you ask him some questions about how engines work and such. It will build that father-son relationship just like me and my dad and you will find out later in life that doing some dirty work can be a fun thing. I remember one time I was 13 and the Jeep that I now own had something wrong that had to do with the coolant. He was trying to burb the liquid so he could fill it and empty it and he was having a bit of trouble. I came up with an awesome idea on how to help him and it worked instantly and it was running perfect. I’ll tell you one thing there is almost no greater feeling then getting told that you had a great idea to help your father fix a car when you are 13. Obviously I’m not trying to force this on you, I would never do that to anyone, but I think that if you liked this video, you should work on vehicles a little more. Personally driving my Jeep and working on it are my favorite things to do in the world!
An oil change changed how the car behaved....? Okah.
Relatable
How fucking hard is it? Damn. I'm 16 and rebuild engines. All it is is a plug and a filter.

I really does feel nice when you've done something on your own car and saved a bit of money. Thanks!!
Jonathan Ferrol Lol good job but im 14 and i know basically everything top to bottom on car ita kinda crazy how people hardly know how to jack up their car or change oil or a tire lol i dont get it its just kind of common sense but oh well not everybody is mechanically inclined but everyone starts somewhere the more stuff you replace yourself the higher quality parts you will be using not just some super cheap oil that they did a half ass job on and probably dudnt even change the filter oh and dont forget to replace your transmission fluid and differential fluid and if u have a 4×4 there is 2 differentials and the trasfer case should be in the front. Transmssion rebuilds aint cheap just to be safe replace the oil every 50k and use high quality synthetic oil.
WillitBreak? We get it, I see these copy paste comments everywhere, no need to brag while trying to help
Well done. I will be doing mine also , one day , and i hope i manage also.

I want to do that too what other things do you have to do and learn
Well, now I know a lot more. However, I was thinking about lowering/cambering my car.
If you are going to be a mechanic then you need to know pretty much all of the basic stuff maintenance wise.
Andrew Swiader what’s the best way to do a transmission flush on a sealed transmission with no indication of how much fluid the tranny takes?
Sir Williams google it bruh
I remember my junior year of high school someone made fun of me for not knowing how to change my oil, now I’m changing everything from brake and suspension parts, engine parts, and even changed a head gasket. Dedication is a powerful tool. Also Chris and Eric the car guy helped a ton.
Did you attend to a motor study class or did you just learn all that from self-teaching and watching yt videos? I was considering to attend UK college as part time before I get my first car but having a 10hr shift job daily makes it impossible so all I have is the internet to learn and I'm not sure if it's enough, I am very dedicated to learn and ever since I bought provisional license I'm stuck watching youtubers such as chrisfix for hours. I can't wait to get a car and try all that myself.
Patryk Ochnio everything I learned was on KRplus from Chris Fix and Eric the Car Guy (I don’t like Scotty Kilmer), I would literally study their videos. Part of my motivation was watching my dad pay $400 just to have an alternator changed when the part itself is only about $100. I would just stick to the simple things first and work your way up the difficulty level, like I started with oil changing and then brakes. Good luck

Hi Chris! I've looked at your videos years ago and I've been meaning to learn how to do my own oil for... over half a decade now.
Today was the day I finally did it, and I listened to your video all the while. Thank you for showing me just how easy it is to make your vehicle truly your own. Okay maybe exaggerating a bit, but this is definitely the first step!

I have watched so many of your videos over and over. I am about to do my first oil change on my CRV. Thanks to you, I have the confidence to start maintaining my car (fluid changes, brakes). Love this channel.
Did my first oil change yesterday, and your video was of great help, although i first watch this video like 2 years ago,.... before i even had a car, but to put it simply, changing my own oil or working in my car is one if the best feelings ever. Thanks chris.
Old video but I should add a tip. when you remove the old filter make sure the oil filter gasket is not stuck on the oil filter housing. I've seen it.
Seen that too. Oil spilled right out of the engine when it started
Yes sir that Gasket gets stuck
and if you have a cartridge type filter, make sure to replace the gasket on the cap with the filter. most cartridge filters comes with one of these extra gaskets. thought it'd be worth a mention as some people forget that step
Nice advice
Sear's taught us to wipe oil on the gasket to seal it and it won't stick to the car.
A couple of extra points to add;
1: when placing the oil pan under the oil sump plug bolt make sure you have the oil pan positioned to compensate for the direction of flow of the oil when it comes out of the hole, especially if the bolt is angled slightly. If it comes out very quickly on an angle it could miss the pan completely.
2: If it’s a windy day and your outdoors; when the oil becomes a trickle at the tail end of draining the wind can blow it all over your driveway - place an old towel or blanket under the oil pan to catch any mess.
Yes I learnt both of these the hard way and yes my step dads new driveway still has the oil stains that can’t be removed!
Oil stains from asphalt can be removed. Hit it with a degreaser from any auto parts store and a brush and it should come out.
For the oil stains try something called Eximo. We use it at the gas station at the grocery store I work at. Cleans hydrocarbon stains great.
Hey what do you do with your old oil
@@mercyarroyoJust bring it to your local mechanic and ask them to dispose of it
Hey Chris.
I have never changed oil and I recently got a new used-car so I said that I was going to change the oil by myself and my family douthe me.
I watch your video before hand and I was well prepared so I changed not just my oil but also every other car in my house for a total of 4 cars in record time with minimal oil spill. My family was awestruck.
Thanks Chris
I've used your videos to work on my car, thanks to you and your instructions I've been able to do basic maintenance like my own oil, brakes and rotors as well as fluid flushes to much needed repairs like replacing my motor mounts! Thank you!

Wendy Lucas an oil filter wrench will help.
@@wendylucas9628 , you could go to a garage and ask them to loosen it for $10 -$15. Have done it.
Hey man, just came back to this video to say thanks a lot. I changed my oil on my 2017 honda accord today for the first time. No issues at all because of your clear instructions all the way through from ramping the car up to actually changing the oil. I spent more today buying all the nesecssary parts to be able to change my oil, but will save money in the future! Thanks again man
I made a comment several minutes ago on changing brake pads and rotors and figured you might have something as simple as an oil change video and even though this was longer than the brake pad and rotor video, I’ve seen other videos that show oil changes show the same, similar moves, steps, all that stuff, but you still help in the long line of videos I’ve watched of changing your oil on the fact that it can be done as simple as your videos make it, and one thing I liked about both your brake pad and rotor video, and this, is that you’re very detailed and explanatory with stuff, which makes something that people think is a complicated thing, relatively easy to understand and then end up doing yourself after you’ve seen the video which I think is cool.
The only thing I’ve always had an issue with before, ever actually taking out and trying to change my oil is, between the ramps, the oil, the paper towels, and the tools and the filter, you either have to purchase everything initially if you don’t already have them and you’re just fresh and new getting into this, which I’m fairly certain would be a decent amount of money to put down on all those things, but if you have at least a couple of tools, at least, the unfortunate thing that I do, at least understand myself is, I like you would use the ramps, and hold down my parking brake, which I use in my car whenever I park. Anyways, I just naturally started doing it one day with my 2012 Mazda three, which was the previous car I owned, so now I put the parking brake on with my 05 Honda CRV, but one of the only issues with ever changing your oil is the initial money put down for all the things you need to cover it being done, but usually after you’ve acquired the general amount of stuff, I would think that screw in plugs that you would replace that you initially pull out when the oil Shoots out quick like someone who’s been holding in their pee for an hour and a half, buying a new oil, plug, the oil itself and the filter. As long as you have everything else are the I would think less expensive things to have to get down on if you intend on doing it your own, and sometimes the money isn’t always there to afford Purchasing everything down right, but the one thing I can understand and agree on with other people is that once you have either a couple things that you need for doing it before hand or once you put down the initial money for everything you need with I’d say 2/3 of those things being the tools, paper, towels, and ramps, the new oil screw, the oil and the filter are really the only things that are that you have to buy every new time around when replacing it so all the initial things you have to put money down. If you don’t already kind of pay for them selves over time and you’ll have them for all of your other vehicles as well.
I actually do eventually want to do my own oil at least once just to know that I did it, and that I could say it was maybe as easy as somebody else said it was, because in general, I know how to change a tire, and I’ve had to put spares on my prior vehicles Overtime, so that was one thing I knew how to do, jumpstarting, another persons, car with jumper cables, and changing a car battery, now my previous vehicle, my 2012, Mazda three, and my 2004 Kia spectra before that, had easier set ups for the car battery, but the car battery in my current vehicle has a lot more in casing and parts around it, so I’m sure sooner or later I’m going to have to learn how to Uncage it so to speak, and be able to take it out, and then reverse the unchanging with a new battery, and be up-to-date with this current vehicle.
But I would like to be able to sometime down the road, be able to do that, and say much like anybody else that’s told me how easy it is, add that as like, if you were adding more experience or another job to your résumé, just be able to add another thing to a vehicle that I can do that’s relatively easy that even if it took a short while, I can say I did, and whenever I actually have the money to afford buying some of the initial things that help with the set and start up of it, I think that would be cool, and I myself would use the ramps as well.
this dude has taught me too much haha
You could never learn too much!

Ya i know
Lol
@@chrisfix I know what kind of car that is a 2014 Nissan Sentra are you going to do the video all welders and welding helmets
Wow I'm starting to realize that car maintenance is not rocket science :)
Once I stated thinking about cars as just nuts and bolts it become alot easier
well it depends on what car you have and how old it is. The older car's are easier to work on. Just wait tell that new law is passed and one of things people are going put up with would be a breath machine in every car or a camera that scans your eyes to make sure your not falling asleep. I have a funny feeling the insurance company's are going to have a field day with those items just to charge your ass more.
@@Bewefau what yo? A breath machine? What’re you talking about?
@@BloomfieldProductions I believe they’re referring to those machines used to check how intoxicated a person is.
Until it is lmao
I feel I am a qualified car mechanic after Chris explained the process so throughly..I cant wait to watch his other videos. Thank you!
Hi Chris! I’m new to your channel and I’m planning on doing my own oil change soon. My parents are totally against it but after seeing similar comments down here I’m feeling much more encouraged to do so, and with your help, more confident. I really appreciate your videos because I have always wanted to know how to do more maintenance on my own car. Thank you! I’ll update soon.
Dude you are probably the #1 car teacher on KRplus to beginners. Love how you do every step. You make me realize that cars don't have to be so scary and confusing!!!
I'm a 36 year old woman and I didn't drive most of my adult life. I have my first commuter car now and I'm doing the work myself. Thanks Chris Fix!
Naomi Diaz he’s the man. Lots of tips and tricks
Super proud of u!!!!
Good job!
Just changed mine for the first time and this is also the first time a KRplus tutorial has gone perfectly as planned without any unexpected problems. Thanks Chris!
Chris I appreciate your videos so much I am a automotive enthusiast who likes anything with wheels and a combustion engine you're never to old to learn so even your videos about the most basic of automotive maintenance is helpful to both men and women keep up the excellent work enlightening us all with you're vast knowledge of all things automotive.
Everyone that dislikes this video is a mechanic trying to make that paycheck
Which is funny, because I just got hired as a mechanic and came here to learn how to do my job
lol, i am a mechanic and i actually enjoy watching chris's videos, almost every time there is something new to learn even though i am familiar to many of the things he does. it's not like everyone that watches the video is gonna replace their oil in their yard or alley, so that i have nothing left to work on. it's just easier to pay someone to do it, you get it, and yes, i know you were joking, i just have some free time left and i decided to write this :)
@@RobertMischief saaame I start my first day in 6 hours
There's some decent mechanics out there trying to make a living. I dont have all the gear to pull this off rn. Prob go to a mom & pop shop since most retail chain guys are out of service on Sunday.
Excuse you? He'll yeah make that money. But your dogging someone's lifestyle that get a paycheck but help females like me learn without needing a man to show her. Free videos saves me and....my parents money. Chris...I gotta thank you....nobody would teach me, but really, that comment makes you look twice as bad- way to go.....Chris....hey.....jk thanks
You are a great human being. A gift to society. I'm too busy to try this, as much as I'd like to, but it's amazing to know that at least I can. Thank you so much for your vids!
+Sudip Barua no problem! Glad you enjoyed the video!
ChrisFix when will u do a face reveal it’s ok if u don’t want too
Thank you ChrisFix. You thought me to believe in myself that I can do this. I am not a car expert and I am always afraid to touch anything in the engine bay but you helped me maintain my car, and do the job very well. Thank you so much. -Your fan from the Philippines.
Dude, I'm learning for the 1st time how to do this and this video was so thorough that I feel like I got this. Thank you so much 🙏🏻! Stay blessed!
Lol I went from ps4 cleaning to how to change oil in a car
Welcome to youtube
For real 😂
Equally useful skills
Both important skills
I went from toy reviews to knives once
With my dad living 2,000 miles away, I don't have anyone to teach me stuff like this. My car is well over 200,000 miles so it needs a lot of love. Thank you for posting this content! I love the look people give me when they see a 4'11" girl workin on her car :P
I'm glad the videos are helpful!!! It is nice to see girls working on their cars!
Kaytee Baca
you can do it very easy
Kaytee Baca
Kaytee Baca most independent shops will change your oil and filter give a complete inspection of the car rotate the tires for about $35.00. Rotate your tires every other oil change.
Kaytee baca I used to do quite a bit on my car, I'm only 2 inches taller than you :-) And yes, the looks are funny sometimes. Last time I bought wiper blades the guy in AutoZone offered to put them on for me. He actually looked a bit disappointed when I said, "Nah, I got it. I'm doing a bunch of stuff tomorrow." After I got home I realized, damn, poor guy looked upset. Maybe he was hoping to spend more time with me lol.
Just did my first oil change after watching your video. So helpful. You explained it perfectly. Thank you!!
Hey Chris! I’ve been rewatching this video non-stop to prep for my first ever oil change and I just got done with it with the help of my dad. I also changed my coolant for the first time and it got late so I finished up and left my car as was. I will check everything tomorrow and let you know how it goes, thank you so much!
proud of you bro
@@llftj thank you homie
LOVE how you include stuff like; if you dont have a jack or ramps, you can just park over a curb and use that to crawl under and work on your oil change. GOAT
Hmm, seems easy enough. I’ll ask my Girlfriend if she can change mine tomorrow.
😭😭
looool.
If you have your girlfriend do it for you that makes you the girlfriend 🤣
You don't have a gf
@@romeostarlite21 and it seems like you don't have enough brain to understand the joke
Did my first oil change today following your video! Didnt take longer than half an hour, suprisingly fast and easy! The one thing that took the most time was just waiting for all the old oil to drain out as much as possible, and finding the darn correct model for the oil filter at stores, no one seemed to sell the one i needed for my car, but I found it eventually.
Car ran just fine and as usual after, no warning lights, no leaks.
Thank you!
i have performed over 20 oil changes on a variety of cars. yet i still come here to watch just because of how soothing and educational chris is (call me weird) i love it.
On learning how to change oil, I moved up to upgrading lighting system, work on exhaust, breaks and finally graduated years later to opening up the engine.
Awesome!
Leave a like if your Dad never loved you enough to teach you how to change the oil in your car.
Yes we all have daddy issues
My dad loves me its just I never asked him how to change the oil plus he doesn't have to much time hes a working man so I'm watching ChrisFix to learn how to fix cars myself.
👍
@J Mr.Laidback Yeah
They're only like 3 bucks tho
Very helpful tutorial! Worked like a charm. Just did my first oil change. You're right about the tools. They would have made my life easier. I'll get them the next time I do my oil change!
Chris, I always watch you and this video. so me and my dad changed the oil for the first time. Since I watched this video and m dad hasn’t, I told him some of the exact words that you said. He had a little knowledge. Changing the oil was such a success and I can’t wait to do it more! I couldn’t do the oil without you!
I was intimidated when I saw that the video was 20mins long. But I sat and watched this “in-depth” video. You have the the confidence to go out and do my 1st oil change. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Why am I watching this, I literally work at a lube shop, lol
it's never a bad thing to double check if you're doing it correctly
Great video and some nice tips I’ve over looked. You learn something new everyday!
Jiffy lube here 🤣
@@-jyqub7942 if thats the case then you should really watch this video
Top side or pit guy?
Chris you are legend. I did my 1st oil service by watching your this comprehensive video. Great ❤️
Great video. I used this video when I was learning how to change oil, and then I used it as a reference whenever I changed oil again, just sped up.
Thanks for the value, Chris.
how could you give this video a dislike it literally shows you everything
Haters gonna hate lol
true but still its chris fix the legendary car fixer! lol
Probably kids trolling.
Mechanics out of jobs cause we are all fixing our own cars now haha. CF is the man.
Beats me. I guess they were expecting coffee and donuts to be provided when they clicked here.
I am a woman who just changed my car oil by myself! right after watching your video. I feel amazing and happy to have saved money. Thank you !
That's what I like to see!
Yes I’m grateful! I gained some confidence knowing I can do it instead of asking my Dad or my bro or the shops 😂.
Can’t thank you enough! You didnt just save my money but also made me self confident! ❤❤❤
Congrats on your channel.
You're doing an amazing job.
And yes, your video inspired me to do my first oil change, and I've successfully diy it by myself. Thank you for this! ❤
$70 Oil changes brought me here.
$70??? Did they fill your car with wine? That's madness.
Try $160 here in Australia for my Magna TW VR wagon :(
@@scenenuf they include red carpet rolled out and a hand job with that? like jesus
I changed my oil and oil filter myself and that cost me around 90 dollars.
I pay about $46 for the labor and parts.
$20 for oil (3.5qt)
$6 for a genuine filter and a gasket
$20 labor
This is for Hyundai Accent.
I could have done all these things by myself and saved $20 but I don't like to get my hands dirty ;)
I don't even need this shit, but it's so nice to watch
Me too
And me
Same
And me
I watched and I don't even own a car...
Hey mate, thank you for the video, it's a massive help! My first oil change was on a car with the filter on top of the engine, but my new car has it on the under side, so I was a bit confused as to what to do. Your video just made it very simple and easy for me. I'll be doing the oil and filter change tomorrow!
Apprentice mechanic here. At my garage we always take the filter off before putting the sump plug back in because when you take the filter off more oxygen gets in and that lets the oil flow better so there’s no excess oil
I hate watching tutorial videos but this video was really relaxing and informative. Thanks man!
Glad the video was helpful!
5 years and he’s still answering comments.
Thank for the help
Thanks Chris, I'm from Philippines and I love watching you do the car know - how.
Chris a follow up from my previous comment I was super nervous to do my first oil change but today I finally just did it without thinking about it and just got it done I just wanna say thanks so much for giving such a detailed instructions video usually I just watched your videos just for fun and imagine someday I’ll be doing stuff like this but today I just went for it!!
all of the dislikes are speedy oil change employees
😀😁😂😃
Steven Slaton to be fair I'm a heavy diesel and electrical mechanic we don't use cheap oil you want customer to keep coming back

A tip for tightening bolts with no chance of cross threading is to start screwing it in reverse like you're unscrewing it, then when you hear a click, screw it back in. The click is the threads aligning.
This!!
Never over-tighten your drain bolts again. The ValvoMax Oil Drain Valve is a one-time installation.
joblessalex Nice tip! I've always done this and have never had any problems
Yes...but it doesn't always click. Like older bolts or if the threads are grimy/dirty. when reversing (or loosening) the bolt you should feel a slight step down, therefore aligning the threads. Just by chance you can't hear or feel anything, you can just back off on the bolt a few turns before tightening it.

Here in Germany old vehicle oils can also be given away to the Recycling yard and they have to take it for free. They even have huge tanks where you can pour it in and take your own tank back home to re-use it.
