VR17 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 the oil filter should be on the side of your engine, before you take it off, get a pan to pick up the mess, you might wanna get some jackstands and a jack, not really hard on hondas, open the lid or cap for engine oil, drain it, put back your filter or get a new one, then fill your car on manufactured specification. and put cap back on. i think thats about it.. welcome to the forum..

WRX Driver03 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 If you still have the manual for the car, it will show you how to change your engine oil for that make and model. If not and you absolutley can't find it, go get a professional to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
