Want to start saving some money by changing your own oil? Most vehicles can have their oil changed from the comforts of your garage or driveway with a little bit time and labor. Some of the tools you’ll need to change your own oil include a floor jack, jack stands, oil drain pan, and an oil filter wrench. While it’s possible to take off most oil filters with your bare hands, spending a few bucks on an oil filter wrench will make your life a lot easier. Some oil filters feature a slick finish, and depending on where it’s located on your car, could be a pain to grip.

Giving your engine fresh spark plugs should be part of your car’s regularly scheduled maintenance. But you don’t necessarily have to go to the dealership or pay a mechanic to swap in a new set of plugs. Instead, get yourself an affordable spark plug socket and do it yourself in your garage or driveway.

The numbers are in, and they confirm what we already knew: everybody is buying crossovers (and trucks).

We’re leaving this decade on a high note. Ignore the Chicken Littles: the automotive industry is turbulent, sure, but there’s a lot to look forward to in the near future. The biggest reveals of 2019 prove as much.

Believe it or not, 2020 is just around the corner, which means it’s time for New Year’s resolutions.

Admittedly, electric car jacks are a bit of a luxury item, but they definitely come in handy if you ever get stuck with a flat tire on the side of the road. Instead of using your factory scissor jack and manually cranking to lift your car, electric car jacks make the task much easier by having you simply push a button. Most electric car jacks are capable of getting your car off the ground in under two minutes, but more importantly, they don’t require a lot of manual labor to operate.
