Drainage and Drain Pump Use
The drainage and drain pump use process step involves ensuring proper water removal from the system to prevent damage or corrosion. This includes checking the drain hose for any kinks or blockages that could impede its function. The drain pump is then activated to remove any excess fluid, and the process may be repeated as necessary depending on the specific requirements of the application. It's essential to verify that the drain pump is functioning correctly by monitoring its operation and addressing any issues promptly. Additionally, the location of the drainage system should be considered to prevent water accumulation in areas where it could cause damage or compromise the integrity of surrounding components.

Oil Filter Removal
The Oil Filter Removal process involves the mechanical removal of the oil filter from the engine. This is typically done by hand or with a filter wrench to prevent damage to the surrounding components. The filter is located on the underside of the engine and is attached by a filter nut or gasket. To remove it, the filter wrench or pliers are used to loosen the nut or gasket by turning it counterclockwise until it becomes loose enough to be removed by hand. Once loosened, the oil filter is then pulled straight off and discarded as it is no longer serviceable. This process should only be performed when the engine has been shut down and the oil level has had time to settle.
Oil Filter Removal
New Oil Fill-Up
This process step involves filling up the engine oil in the vehicle. The procedure starts by checking the current oil level to determine if a refill is required. If the oil level is low, the correct type and amount of oil are retrieved from the storage area. The engine is then turned off and the oil cap is removed to allow for easy pouring. The new oil is carefully poured into the engine through the oil filler neck, ensuring not to overfill or spill any oil. Once the oil level reaches the recommended maximum, the oil cap is replaced and the procedure is complete, verifying that the oil level is at the correct range before moving on to the next step.
New Oil Fill-Up
Post-Service Checks
The Post-Service Checks process step involves verifying that all aspects of the service delivery have been completed to a satisfactory level. This includes inspecting the work area for cleanliness and organization, ensuring that all necessary equipment has been returned or properly stored, and confirming that any waste or by-products generated during the service have been disposed of according to established protocols. Additionally, this step may involve conducting quality control checks on the work performed to ensure it meets the required standards. The objective of Post-Service Checks is to guarantee that the service delivery process has been thoroughly completed and that all necessary steps have been taken to maintain a safe and efficient working environment.
