Oil Change

[texasvtak]

Alright, Im gonna do this myself for the first time tomorrow (or sometime soon) Just to double check, what all do I need?

Edit: and what size oil filter do I need? And whats the best kind?

Geeze theres a lot of people from Dallas on here lately.

4 quarts 5-30 oil,
socket to fit drain plug,
socket wrench,
oil filter wrench (maybe),
oil drain pan,
oil filter,
a way to get under the car.

go to Lute Riley Honda and get an oil filter; one size fits most. It will come with a new crush washer for the drain plug. It should also run you about $6 give or take a few. The size is a 3593 (I think).

If all else fails, go to WalMart and look on their little electronic filter guide, and it'll tell you what kind. Besides, you can get everything you need there to change your oil.

5w30? Been usin 10w30 for a while now... at least since Ive had the car (bout a year and a half) Whats the difference? Or to put it better, what difference would it make?

Anyway, went to autozone tonight, got a Mobil 1 oil filter (why not? not like its a hi-po car )

So tomorrow should be fun... as in not fun as a car nut. I get to change my oil and my gf gets to put on a new intake and heads. Yay..or something

its just the thickness of the oil at certain temp.


10w-30 should be okay for u as it is summer.
i've been using 10w-30 all along

yes MOBIL 1 oil filters are good...
