Evo's oil change with pics
#62
No mention of filling the filter before installation or removing the ECI fuse and turning the engine over to allow oil to be pumped around with no real load on the engine before starting it properly

So you would do this every morning you start the car? Changing the oil is just draining the Oil Pan and filling it back up again. I've always filled the Oil Filter on every vehicle I've owned, but to disable the ignition system and crank over the motor, is just over kill.

Well think this is a good write up, because it adresses the little things and it is well worth the extra time doing it yourself...
This way you know that the proper oil is in your engine and no stupid inexperienced mechanic cross threads the oil screw/filter when putting everything back together...
I plan on checking out this howto when I change mine

Is it normal to have knocking and the oil light to come on when u first start the car after the oil change? does it go away after a little bit of time? Could it possibly mean i need more oil?

Ok, the knock went away and the light turned off but my service engine soon light is still on.. Anyone have an idea of what it could be?
The oil light and the service engine light went on at the same time so i figured i just needed to do an oil change. I guess it didn't fix all of my problems.
