How come no one made a "how to" on this? I've been able to figure it out by reading about bits of it from the forum, but haven't seen a full "how to". BTW, it's 3 things that will need changing at every oil change right? Oil, Oil filter, and Drain Plug?

 

Oil, oil filter. Don't need to change the drain plug. You can change the O ring on the plug, but not the plug it-self.

Off topic I know but... what the F is up with the keyword ads? I know you guys need money but that thing blows.

 

i thought this kind of stuff is in the owner's manual? lots of stuff in there already.

 

i can give u a quicky on how to change ur oil...
1)jack the front of your car up into the air or simply use ramps
2)take oil cap off from under the hood
3)get under the car
4)get a pan to catch the oil
5)use a size 17(if im wrong someone please correct me)mm wrench to get the drain plug off
6)remove drain plug and allow oil to flow into pan
7)oil has drained, screw plug back in...
8)using an oil filter wrench, remove the oil filter and allow oil to fall into oil pan on ground
9)using your finger, apply some oil onto the inner ring of the filter and the outer rubber ring
10)screw in filter back in
11)pour about 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 quarts of oil into engine
12)screw oil cap back on
13)check for leaks from oil filter and drainage plug(move pan used to catch old oil
14)start engine to circulate oil
15)check again for leaks
16)turn off engine(have car back on ground) and allow oil to settle
17)check oil level
18)check for leaks
19)put your tools away and dispose of used oil...

if this seems to complicated have someone else do it for you...i hope this helps

 

Thanks very much. I appreciate it. What was confusing to me before was reading about drain plugs and how you have to replace it or something, but I guess not...

 

no prob...have fun on ur next oil change...
