What can low oil do to my Alfa Romeo GTV-6 engine?

Can I change my Alfa Romeo oil on my own?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.
