Default need a hand from fellow techers

i'm giving an "informative" speech on how to do an oil change for my commmunications class and i need 3 credible sources. i'm using my car's manual as one source, but can anyone else think of 2 other "reliable" sources? they can be from the internet but need to be from known sites or something. i was thinking about using a service manual i have but of course i left it in california

hmmm yeah a chiltons/haynes/service manual would be another great source, see if the site how stuff works (i think it is howstuffworks.com) has that info, also can LS1 tech be a credible source... thats a loaded question these days...LOL

Yeah I'd say use LS1tech (would they even know anyways?) and a Chiltons/Haynes manual (I have a Haynes manual if you need to reference it).

you may want to reference your local mechanic. teachers always like when you use interviews for a source.

You make too much sense, lose some of your smarts and come back when you are good and dumb, then we can discuss. LOL sorry for some reason I felt the need to state this.

i found a few sites that meet some of the requirements to the "reliable website" sheet my teacher made. hopefully she accepts them.

Seriously, you need "sources" for an oil change?

For "reliable" sources, I'd say make armpit farts for source #2, bend over and talk out of your *** for source #3.
