How to Change the Oil in Your Vehicle
Why should you change your oil?
Everybody should change their oil in their vehicles whether or not they do it themselves. Changing your oil yourself is not very hard and saves you money. Changing your oil is very critical. In fact, manufacturers recommended that you change your oil at least every 3,000 miles. You will increase the engine life of your car. The oil is what keeps the engine lubricated. When oil gets old it becomes dirty which causes friction. Draining the old oil and adding new oil will prevent this friction, thus increasing the reliability and life of your engine. It is also necessary to change your oil filter every time you change your oil. The oil filter is what filters out the particles before they reach your engine. A new filter will filter out particles a lot better than an old and dirty one.
These instructions will take you through the steps so that you will be able to change your oil in your own driveway.
Caution: Changing your oil can be very dangerous. Never lay under a vehicle only supported by a jack. You must use jack stands or you will be putting your self at risk. Oil can also be very hot, so take extra precaution when removing the drain plug.

I would also suggest finding an outfit you wouldn’t mind getting dirty and a pair of rubber gloves to keep your hands clean.
Karl Marx sums up the basics of his thoughts on alienated labour well in the first paragraph in the last section of the first Manuscript. “On the basis of political economy itself, in its own words, we have shown that the worker sinks to the level of a commodity and becomes indeed the most wretched of commodities; that the wretchedness of the worker is in inverse proportion to the power and magnitude of his production; that the necessary result of competition is the accumulation of capital in a few hands, and thus the restoration of monopoly in a more terrible form; and that finally the distinction between capitalist and land rentier, like that between the tiller of the soil and the factory worker, disappears and that the whole of society must fall apart into the two classes – property owners and propertyless workers.” This is how our society today really does work, and it is much more evident then in 1844 when karl marx was writing about this.
Marx, discuss a certain concept of alienated labor as an unavoidable result of capitalist system. The framework that he tries to draw in the book is that capitalist system should be blamed to have class strafication and alienated labor in the society. In a capitalist society people suffer from class conflict and property ownership of bourgeoisie. Bourgeoisie owns the big factories and businesses so then, small manufacturers have to shut down and basically have to join the labors in the big businesses. Workers in capitalist system are obligated to work for long hours under unhealthy conditions for really low salaries. In order to feed a family provide just basic needs, they have to accept those conditions otherwise they would be down the street without any source of income. While bourgeoisie class is enjoying large profits and luxuries life that has been provided by the effort of labors, they can barely themselves and the family.

Also maybe the company should change the type of pipe they are using to engage in transferring the drilled oil because it might be the material used to make the pipe that is weaken and ended up causing the oil company billions of dollars.

ENTJ, is known as “The Field Marshal” or “The Executive.” Sources say my personality type has the potential to make great CEO’s or politicians. According to my research; ENTJ’s are known to have excellent speaking skills: which can assist in making public addresses or explaining new business models to a board of directors from a power point. ENTJ’s are also known to hold very high standards and expect the same from their peers/ employees; which makes them excellent managers. I personally see the same drive in my own life, mentioned in my research about ENTJ’s; passion for efficiency and producing results. ENTJ’s take all the theoretical knowledge they have obtained and use it to produce
The first form of alienation that Marx distinguishes is the estrangement of workers from the product of their labor. Marx states that, “the worker is related to the product of his labor as to an alien object” (Marx, 50). Because the worker does not own the fruits of his labor, he becomes more estranged the more he produces. According to Marx, it is a basic economic fact that “with the increasing value of the world of things proceeds in direct proportion the devaluation of the world of men” (Marx, 50). In other words, the more a worker produces, the more his individual value diminishes in comparison to all of the material objects he creates, but does not possess. Marx describes how the conditions of capitalism lead to the objectification of labor because u...
Marx states the following: “Private property is, therefore, the product, the necessary result, of alienated labour, of the external relation of the worker to nature and to himself” (Alienated Labour 280). This quote concludes an essay of the explication on alienated labour. Marx’s alienated labour relies on what he deems a new type of materialism. In this essay I will examine this statement with respect to three essays: “Alienated Labor”, “Theses on Feuerbach”, and “Ideology in General, German Ideology in Particular”. I will critically analyse his statement in three ways: first, by detailing Marx’s new form of materialism; second, by addressing the four aspects of alienated labor: (1) the worker as alienated from the product of his labour,

" Oil is the life blood of our modern industrial society. It fuels the machines and lubricates the wheels of the world’s production. But when that vital resource is out of control, it can destroy marine life and devastate the environment and economy of an entire region…. The plain facts are that the technology of oil-- its extraction, its transport, its refinery and use-- has outpaced laws to control that technology and prevent oil from polluting the environment…" (Max, 1969). Oil in its many forms has become one of the necessities of modern industrial life. Under control, and serving its intended purpose, oil is efficient, versatile, and productive. On the other hand, when oil becomes out of control, it can be one of the most devastating substances in the environment. When spilled in water, it spreads for miles around leaving a black memory behind (Stanley, 1969).
When the hood is open, look in the engine; there should be a metal loop sticking out of a metal cylinder, and that's your dipstick. Pull the dipstick out and with a rag or paper towel, wipe off the end with the oil on it off, put the stick back in, all the way and then pull it out and look where the oil ends on the end of the dipstick. If the oil doesn't reach the inside markings indicated on the end of the stick, you should add one to one-and-a-half quarts of oil, checking the level to be sure you haven't made it too full. If your oil is very dark, thick or chunky, then it is time to change your oil, and it is best to do when the engine is hot.
Marx’s theory of alienation describes the separation of things that naturally belong together. For Marx, alienation is experienced in four forms. These include alienation from ones self, alienation from the work process, alienation from the product and alienation from other people. Workers are alienated from themselves because they are forced to sell their labor for a wage. Workers are alienated from the process because they don’t own the means of production. Workers are alienated from the product because the product of labor belongs to the capitalists. Workers do not own what they produce. Workers are alienated from other people because in a capitalist economy workers see each other as competition for jobs. Thus for Marx, labor is simply a means to an end.
