you don,t use motor oil to clean out the engine, you use motor flush. as for the plugs you will need a 3/8 ratchet and spark plug socket and maybe an extensionHow do you change spark plugs on a 98 rodeo?
Change them one at a time, pull the spark plug wire off one, remove and replace the plug and put the wire back on and move to the next one, making sure you have the wire on snug and tight on the plug,(make sure the spark plugs are gapped correctly B-4 starting. If you are changing the distributor cap and rotor be sure to mark your wires so you know where they go into the cap, or your car may not start. For an oil change, crawl under the car, place a container that can hold at least 5 qts. under your oil pan drain plug and remove the plug, opening your filler cap will help it drain quicker. After it has drained all out, use a filter wrench and remove your oil filter, put a little oil on the rubber gasket on the new filter and put it back on your car by getting it hand tightened and using the wrench to tighten it another 1/4 turn. Put your drain plug back on your oil pan and tighten.

Fill your car up with required amount of oil, maybe 4 qts first if it takes 5, start your motor to circulate the oil through the motor and filter, turn it off and add the remaining quart. You might want to change your air filter also if you have a new one.

5w-30 or 10w-30 should be right for the oil.



SPARK PLUG GAP....every car has a certain amount of gap in the plug to make sure it fires at its optimum...here is a link that may explain better along with some other useful stuff. Find out what the gap is for your car from where you bought the plugs and they can tell you and even check it for you.

BTW....you don't need a torgue wrench to replace the plugs, just a ratchet wrench, a spark plug socket(rubber gasket inside the socket), and an extension. tighten it , just don't over tighten it.....as shown in video.
To add to it:



Remove the oil filler cap first before draining the oil. I know it's very rare that one can't open it, but it'll be a big headache if you drain the oil and then can't fill it.



Know the a torque setting and use a torque wrench.

Double check on the spark plug's gap.

Consider using a little anti-seize on the spark plug. Some have a coating on it already, some people don't use it. Just consider it.
