- The final episode of Oil Change follows the Edmonton Oilers through the last month of the 2011-12 NHL season. The young Oilers know they will not make the playoffs, but with head coach Tom Renney cracking the whip they’re determined to finish strong, earn respect around the league for their talent and work ethic, and lay important groundwork on the road to becoming a playoff team next season. (en)
- One of two scenarios will play itself out in the final episode of Oil Change. The team will either be in the hunt, with everyone’s focus firmly fixed on the prize – making the playoffs – or the Oilers will know they are once again destined to finish the season on the outside looking in. In that case, management and coaches will be looking to make some tough calls over the final weeks on the futures of their players. For non-playoff teams, this is the time when players, and particularly those on the bubble, must take advantage of the remaining games on the schedule to make their case for a new contract. In both scenarios, the future remains to be written. (en)
- By the time this episode airs, a little over two weeks after the NHL trade deadline, the Oilers will have declared their intentions for the rest of the season. They will either stand pat with the team they have, bolstered as needed by call-ups from the AHL, or they will have moved players, and possibly very important players, either in preparation for a serious push for the playoffs in the spring or to make roster space for the next stage of their ongoing rebuild. (en)
- Although the Oilers’ game to game play and win–loss record remain paramount, this episode gives us a chance to get to know some of the players a little bit better away from the rink – perhaps decorating a Christmas tree, shopping for their kids or making community appearances. (en)
- The team wraps up its nine-game road trip, and continues its quest for a spot in the playoff race. (en)

- As the NHL season chugs towards Christmas, the Oilers continue to provide fans with an emotional roller-coaster ride. This is a team that wins unlikely games and loses others that should be an automatic two points. Through it all, head coach Renney and his assistants remain patient and stick to their game plan, sometimes reinforcing their lessons with a soft touch and other times with toughness. The players take a memorable road trip to Anaheim and Phoenix with their fathers, sharing a round of golf in the desert between games. Back in Edmonton and preparing for a tilt against the Sharks, they get a surprise dressing room visit and pep talk from Prime Minister Harper, in town for the 2010 Grey Cup. Heading east, they sweep the Sen, Habs and Leafs, only to come back to Edmonton and play inconsistent hockey during a lengthy, pre-Christmas home stand. With the New Year looming, injured captain Shawn Horcoff assesses the progress of Oil Change on the eve of another Battle of Alberta against the Flames. (en)

- Episode two of Oil Change picks up the Oilers on the first big road trip of the year. They will barely be a dozen games into the season then, too soon to know how good they might be, but this first long road trip of the year could deliver a critical bonding experience for an emerging young team.Will this be the trip that bonds this band of brothers? Only time will tell. (en)
- The fourth episode of Oil Change is about a long, cold winter’s stretch of tough games. There is a very good chance that those games after Christmas through January will make or break the Oilers’ chances of getting into the playoffs. They will also certainly help inform management’s decisions about what to do, or not do, with the NHL’s trade deadline fast approaching (en)
