Change the oil in your first generation Neon equipped with a single overhead cam engine to keep it running strong. Regular oil changes are one of the easiest DIY maintenance procedures to prolong engine life. For years, 3, miles was the correct interval to wait between oil changes, but that is no longer the case.

Conventional oil in today's engines can easily last over 5, miles between changes. Synthetic oils are even more durable, maintaining good engine performance beyond 10, miles. Check an online database or the parts counter at your local auto parts store for the correct part number. Begin jacking up the front driver's side corner of the car by placing a jack between the two notches towards the front of the car on the long vertical part of the frame.

It is helpful, but not necessary, to jack both sides of the car. Since the oil drain plug drains slightly to the passenger side of the vehicle centerline, jacking up just the driver's side is sufficient. Slide the jack stand under the car, slightly left of the jack where the metal is still reinforced, and raise it as high as it goes before hitting the frame.

You can release the jack and let the car rest on the jack stand, but we prefer to leave the jack in the reinforced area with the jack stand in place as a fail-safe. Slide an oil drain pan under the car in a position that oil from the oil drain plug marked in red will flow into it.

Use a ratcheting socket wrench to loosen the oil drain plug to the point that you can remove it with your fingers. Watch the draining oil for shiny specks. Metal flakes in the oil could mean that there is a serious problem with the internals of your engine. Once the old oil has slowed to a drip, use a rag or towel to clean the excess oil from the drain hole. Only tighten the oil drain plug enough that it holds in dripping oil. You will remove it again, shortly. Use an oil filter wrench to loosen the oil filter by twisting it counter-clockwise.

Dip your finger into the new oil and spread a thin layer over the rubber gasket on the filter. Wipe down the threads for the oil filter to remove any oil or debris that may have collected. Keep the new oil filter facing upwards to prevent any spills and place it over the threads. Tighten the filter by rotating it clockwise until it is snug. Do not over-tighten the filter. Dodge has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your Neon.

This oil helps lubricate engine parts, keep the engine cool, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. What motor oils are available at Firestone Complete Auto Care?
