Whats up everyone, I am attempting to change my oil by myself for the first time. I saw the procerss being done lots of times and think I know how to do it, any suggestions on how I should take on this task?? one more thing, do I remove the old oil filter before or after I drain the oil?? thank you

i work at oil changers, thats what i do all day

 

-open oil cap

-drain oil using 17mm wrench

-reach up and when you see the filter turn it left, cafeful not to touch the exhaust manifold, leaves messy burns =[..

-take out filter, change or used old filter, hand tight is best.

-when all oil is out, i usally drop 1-2quarts of 10w30 to flush it out

- then tight the drain plug back up, use a honda gasket or if the original gasket isnt damaged, use that one

-put what kinda oil you want, and then put oil cap back on, and drive

 

i usally do a fuel, and intake system cleaner when ever i do the performance oil change =]
