Oil Change Tools & Equipment

Regular oil changes are the most important maintenance services you can perform if you want your vehicle to last. The lubricating properties and additive package in even the best motor oil will only last so long before they’re depleted, and even high capacity filters can only hold so much dirt. If the filter becomes clogged and the bypass valve opens, allowing worn out, dirty oil to circulate, your engine won’t last much longer.

If you’ve been putting off oil changes because you don’t have the right equipment, you’re at the right place because we have the tools that will make the job quick and easy. No matter what you drive, we have the equipment to remove the old oil and filter from your engine and get the fresh oil and filter in place. Plus we’ve got all the tools for related maintenance like suspension lubrication and other fluid services.

Raising and safely supporting your vehicle is the first step in any undercar service, and for that we’ve got plenty of equipment in our Car Jacks and Automotive Lifts and Stands product sections. If you can never remember your oil pan drain plug size, one of our multi-socket head drain plug wrenches is the only tool you need to grab before getting under your car. And to make sure you catch all that old oil without making a mess we have a huge selection of drain pans, from basic pans to convenient containers with handles and spouts, to large capacity wheeled reservoirs that can slide under a car or stand under a lift.

Drain plug access is difficult on some vehicles but that won’t be an impediment to an oil change when you have one of our large capacity fluid evacuators. These vacuum charged portable units can remove used oil and any other non-flammable fluids, so they’re also great for cooling system and transmission service. Filter removal and installation is almost effortless when you’re armed with our filter wrenches. We have socket selections for canister filters, fluted caps for every size filter and number of flutes, as well as all types of traditional strap wrenches, including hex drive and swivel handles.

While you’re under the car, why not lubricate the suspension and check the other fluids. We have hand-operated grease guns as well as air powered and cordless units. If you have a fitting that won’t take grease we have a large assortment of SAE and metric fittings in straight, 45, and 90 degree angles. Changing oil in differentials, manual transmissions and transfer cases is simple when you have our square drive sockets and suction guns, and if you want to drop the ATF from an automatic, we have extra wide drain pans to catch all the fluid. Finally, your engine will stay neat when you add fresh oil with one of our funnels.
