INPUT ARTICLE: Article: hange the oil every 3,000 miles. To keep your engine functioning to its maximum potential, you need to drain the old oil completely and fill with fresh oil appropriate to the kind of engine in your car. You'll also want to change the oil filter, which usually has a life of about 15,000 miles (24,000 km). While you're doing an oil change, though, is usually a good opportunity to change the filter, which increases the life of your vehicle.  Changing the oil is an intermediate-level project. While there's nothing difficult about the task itself, you've got to have the space and materials necessary (you'll need fresh oil, an oil pan, and jack-stands or ramps). It's relatively cheap and quick to take it into the shop to have it done, especially if you live in the city and don't have a good space to tune up your car yourself.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Perform-a-Basic-Tune-up-for-Your-Car-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/v4-460px-Perform-a-Basic-Tune-up-for-Your-Car-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5d\/Perform-a-Basic-Tune-up-for-Your-Car-Step-7Bullet1.jpg\/aid1324708-v4-728px-Perform-a-Basic-Tune-up-for-Your-Car-Step-7Bullet1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":312,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"494","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}  The service interval of 3,000 miles (5,000 km) can vary from vehicle to vehicle. Always go with the manufacturers recommendation; however, it does not hurt the vehicle in any way to change oil more often. . To even out the wear on your tires and get more life out of them, it's helpful to rotate them periodically, using the correct crossing pattern. Depending on the kind of treat on your tires, you might need to switch the side, as well as the positioning. You'll need several jack stands if you want to rotate your tires yourself, or you can take it in and have them rotated on a hydraulic lift at the shop quickly and affordably. If you notice the blade of your wipers coming loose, cracking, or you notice gaps in the coverage when they're operating, remove the old windshield wipers and replace them with new ones. At the auto parts store, you can usually consult the manual in the aisle to find out the size you need for your car, or you can bring in the old ones for a quick replacement. . The air filter unit should be on top of the engine, under a bulky, rounded cover, usually made of metal or plastic. Removing the air filter and cleaning it thoroughly (even just gently blowing some compressed air through it and wiping it off) can help extend the life of your engine considerably. Keep in mind that some air filter materials are very soft and fragile. A hard blast of compressed air can blow a hole through some air filters and prevent them from filtering any air at all. If your air filter is not on top of the engine, it may be located in an air box with duct work that travels from the front of the vehicle to the box then to the throttle body. Some air cleaners are not even noticeable from under the hood and must be serviced from under the car. . Sometimes called the "serpentine belt," a long rubber belt snakes through the alternator, power-steering pump, and other engine components, and a power-steering belt operates in a similar fashion. The alignment and installation of the belts will vary widely, depending on your engine, but if you notice a high-pitched squeaking noise when you start up or when you turn, inspect the belts for wear and replace them. The belt only costs a few dollars, and a diagram of the installation is generally included in the engine compartment. . The spark plugs of the car should also be checked and replaced when needed. These spark plugs are vital in the vehicle’s fuel combustion mechanism so it is important to maintain these in good working condition. Any failure of the spark plugs might cause the engine to stall so you should prevent this from happening by regular replacement.

SUMMARY: . Rotate your tires and replace them, if necessary Replace the windshield wipers, if necessary. Replace the car’s air filter Inspect and change belts if necessary Replace the car’s spark plugs


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: We recommend using this one. There is a drop down menu at the top of the chart that gives you a few basic sample charts that you can fill with your own data. Alternatively, you can build one completely from scratch. You will see a box labeled "Title" towards the middle of the page. You should title your chart there. You will see a large box below the title bar, towards the bottom of the page. Enter each data point that you have, with one data point per line (so...5, 5, 5, 10, 10, 15, 15, 20, 20, 25, etc). Click the Update Data button above the data box. The chart should automatically adjust to your data, but you can also manually set the interval size and the maximums and minimums for the axes. Use the print screen function on your keyboard to take a picture of the completed graph. Paste and crop the image in MS Paint or whatever basic image software came with your computer. Save the image and print it if you want to.

SUMMARY: Go to a website which generates histograms. Choose a preset format. Name the chart. Enter your data in the box at the bottom. Click Update Data. Adjust the frequency. Print or save your chart.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're treating a stain on a piece of fabric or clothing, stretch the fabric over a large bowl. Position the stain in the center and wrap a rubber band around the outside of the bowl to hold the fabric in place. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and slowly pour the hot water through the stain and into the bowl.  The hot water can loosen the stain and force it out of the fabric. If you're cleaning a fabric stain on a couch, you'll need to remove the cover or cushion to get to the stain. Get out a small bowl and pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of gentle dishwashing liquid. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of hydrogen peroxide until it's combined. Apply the solution to the stain and let it just soak in for 20 minutes. Once the stain looks like it's lifting, wash the material in the washing machine. Only use the brightening dish soap solution on light fabrics since it can lighten dark fabrics. Another way to lift stubborn stains is to coat the stain with white vinegar. Take a few spoonfuls of liquid laundry detergent and rub the soap in. This should loosen the stain. Wash the fabric in hot water to completely remove the stain. If you don't have very many materials to make a deep cleaning solution, just spray club soda mixed with equal parts of white vinegar over the stain. Use paper towels or an old towel to blot up the mixture. You can repeat spraying and blotting until you see the stain lifting.

SUMMARY:
Pour boiling water through the material. Apply a brightening dish soap solution. Apply vinegar and liquid laundry detergent. Spray and blot up a club soda and white vinegar mixture.
