What happens here

After refilling the engine oil, the presenter uses a small flashlight to look down the oil filler neck, avoiding using the dipstick to bang around and pick up dirt. He emphasizes the importance of always checking the oil, even if you know the exact amount. He cleans the oil filler neck with a rag, removes the funnel, and uses a degreaser wipe (Tub O' Towels) to thoroughly clean the funnel before storing it to prevent cross-contamination or debris from entering future oil changes. He then replaces the oil cap.

Goal: The engine oil level is checked using the dipstick, the oil filler neck is cleaned, and the funnel is stored to prevent contamination.

top of this take my funnel out I have a rag handy I'll lift my funnel to my rag and replace the cap I always stored this container just like that with a rag right on top of it so we don't get micro dust particles in there I'm working in the shop always like to have a flashlight to look down in here so I'm not taking my dipstick and going bang bang bang bang bang and banging it around in there and getting dirt all over it inevitably a tractor dipstick hits the dirt sometimes it just does so does a UTV dipstick and we don't want to do that if we can help it it's not checking that the oil level is at the exact appropriate place what we're doing is checking to make sure that we're not starting this vehicle with no oil in it so force a habit always check your oil even though you know exactly how much is supposed to go in there as per recommended by the factory so we are totally within tolerance here now this
