You should wipe the oil filter mating surface with a clean cloth to remove any dirt and more importantly for newbies to make sure the old O-ring off the filter is not stuck on there, this would cause a disaster of a sprinkler of oil everywhere when you start your engine. Ideally you should also try and prime the filter with new oil so the initial start up is quicker at building up oil pressure, also when you remove the oil filter this can cause a bit more of oil to release back to the sump so after removing the oil filter and it's stopped dripping everywhere from the filter housing put your drain pan back under your sump plug and undo it and see the extra amount of dirty oil come out. If you are wanting to do the job properly the whole idea is to remove as much of the old oil as possible. A lot of garages won't bother going to these lengths because time is money and it's just another car to them. You can do a lot better by doing as best a job you can and use good quality correct oils and filter as possible. A lot of garages buy cheap bulk oil which is poor quality.
Just Awful. No mention of making sure you use the correct specification oil for your car. The thing you stop your car rolling away with is called a chock not whatever you called it. Always let the Jack down so you know the weight is on the axle stand. If an amateur uses a ring spanner the way shown it’s likely. They will overtighten the plug or strip the thread. You mentioned hand tightening the filter but didn’t actually tighten it fully. You didn’t mention or show a leak check. Withdraw the video and remake it.
Have you ever changed your own car engine oil before?
Yes I did but was not a success! Thanks for this great structured advice
Did it once and failed miserably…😂

Lots of things missing !
Where is your Torque Wrench??!!!
You say that the car should be level when draining the oil, then promptly raise and support just the front of the car.
