How to Change Oil Faster with Femco® – 6 Simple Steps
Changing oil is essential, but it doesn’t have to be messy or time-consuming. With Femco® oil drain plugs, you can drain and refill oil faster, cleaner, and safer. Follow these six simple steps to perform an oil change like a professional.
Step 1: Choose the Right Femco® Oil Plug
Femco® offers a wide range of plugs and sizes. The right plug ensures a perfect fit and leak-free draining. Not sure which size you need?
Step 2: Park on a Level Surface 
Always park the vehicle or machine on a level surface. This ensures the oil settles at the lowest point for complete draining.
Step 3: Remove the Cap
Unscrew the protective cap from the Femco oil drain plug. You can perform the oil change while the oil is hot or cold — the sealed system prevents any leakage. This step marks the start of your oil change process.
Step 4: Attach the Drainer and Let the Oil Flow
Attach the Femco drainer to the plug. Once connected, the internal valve opens automatically, allowing oil to flow smoothly into your container. The system keeps your hands, tools, and workspace clean.
Step 5: Replace the Cap
After the oil has been drained, remove the drainer and screw the cap back onto the plug. The cap protects the valve from dirt and damage during operation.
Step 6: Refill with Clean Oil
Refill the engine with clean oil using a funnel to avoid spills. Check the dipstick to ensure the oil level is correct. Congratulations — you’ve completed a faster, cleaner, and safer oil change!
