Why would I advise you to change the oil at home
Because of a mechanical repair shop is usually in a hurry in doing the job, especially when being handled a lot of work.
Changing the oil in the correct way is as follows
Start the engine. Preheat your engine for about 5 minutes. After that drain / remove your old oil. To make sure the old oil is all out, do the cranking / turning your machine by using the foot starter several times. (If your vehicle is motorcycle). After that, enter the new oil. Please note, before adding new oil. Bottles of oil should be whipped first. Because there’s oil in a thin layer called as “film”.
Thin film or layer is useful as a patron at the time of rotating machines and frictions between the metals.
Shake the bottle to mix again with a layer of oil film.
