It's pretty easy to drain oil, ya know

You can always get a really long straw and suck some out. Did you check your final level to see what it was at? If its a lil over it should be fine but check the oil level first with the dipstick.

Go with 10w-30 since you're in AZ. Check your oil and make sure its at the proper level. Otherwise you gotta take off the valve cover and dump some out.
Or the drain plug...?Comment

Why would you use anything other than the drain plug to drain oil?

That's what I'm wondering. It's quicker & cleaner to use the plug.Originally posted by GhostymanWhy would you use anything other than the drain plug to drain oil?

And by the way, we're talking about an engine that Honda recommends putting 3.7 quarts in, right? Drain some now.

5w30 or 10w30 is what honda reccomends in the older cars. I think the newer ones are 20w50... but I always use 10w30 since it never gets cold here.Originally posted by Night WolfComment

am I killing my engine by using 20/50? & what does the climate to do with the oil type?

I was told that HD30 worked really well for the older cars also. But i am here in bfe and the weather jumps around.Comment

I would just run 10w30 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter. And if it is too full it will create bubbles in the oil and it wont coat the engine as well. Check level drain accordingly.Comment
