1998-2002 Honda Accord Oil change 

finally changed the oil on my 98 Honda Accord by myself for the 1st time, thanks for the video.

Thanks man I'm 17 I've never done anything to my car always call a mechanics and is not cheap but thanks to you I change the oil of my car no problem 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the video man! My great-grandmother is retiring from driving this April and she's going to give me her 98 Honda Accord that month! At least I'll know what to do now for the oil change! You're awesome! And I will sub you!

Thanks gor your share! Very easy task. Now I'll have more money to save! Especially on a 98 accord coupe like mine with 231,000 miles!

Great video! Watched it and then went out and gave it a shot and success! Thank you

One thing you forgot to mention is to make sure the old oil filter gasket isn't still attached onto where the oil filter goes. Make sure when you remove the oil filter to check it and see if the gasket came off with the filter. Once in awhile, the filter gasket will stay on.

I had 3 accords where the filter was like yours on the back of the block. Tip. Use a large nail, awl or screwdriver and punch a hole on the bottom at the end of the OLD FILTER to drain out most of the oil. No more messy filter removals.

Thank you ! As a woman this is super important for me .I’m going to change my own oil

All new honda design 2013-2017 easy oil change! Filter and drain plug is outside near by the Radiator.

Super helpful. Easy to follow and to-the-point.

i have always used 5w30 and 10w30 in the warm weather months - synthetic - name brand varied according to what is on sale - approx every 6-7k change, live in northern NJ. Also i use redline d4 atf in all my honda cars with much success. ATF change of approx 3qts/9-10k miles. Also with success. Accord 2002 4cyl, f23a4 engine

Learned how to change oil years ago in Auto. FIRST time doing it on my own. Very important for girls to know how to do this for themselves! Thx for the refresher!

This video reminded me where to find the dang oil filter. What a tough spot. Thank you.

Quick question do you think that if I took the straight pipe off a 97 honda civic do you think it would fit a 2000 honda accord?

Which type of oil should i use for a 98 honda accord with 195,000 miles on it? And what is the point of reseting the thing on the speedometer ?

Thank you 😊 you helped me out a lot. Thank you again.

Good job good video. Thank you

nice video easy job thanks

is it the same reset method for a 98 accord as well? i had my oil changed not that long ago but it wasnt reset. although i am having other issues with my car, could my maintanance light be flashing for few seconds when i start it up be due to it not being reset?

Thank you for this video. I appreciate you giving ratchet size so I don’t have to figure it out. 10/10 thank you very much. Should car be flat when changing oil or is it okay if front is lifted?

Can I use 11/16 socket or is it too big?

Great video, thanks! Ive never done an oil change myself, you made it look easy...i have a 98 civic...last week i checked the oil, and there was none! No light, no warning, no smoking, no nothing...it was so odd! A couple weeks before that, my red light came on...first time in 8 yrs...so i checked the oil, and it was gone😱 so i ended up having to put almost 4 qts! No puddles at work or home, so am i correct in thinking that its burning off? Haven't had a chance to see whats up, its been parked ever since, but yesterday, i checked the radiator yo see if there was oil in there, and it didn't look like there was any water either. I didn't start it up to add some and see how empty it was because it has no oil. I have never in 8 years had any probs with my car, but now it seems to be on its last legs?... 😢 makes me sad.

Thanks for the help

Thank you! I'm going to change the oil by myself ^^ By the way, may I know how could you clean the chassis and the engine bay?

Hi. I have a VTEC honda Accord with the same set-up. The gears do not change in drive mode...any idea how to fix this?

#1 check what oil your car takes im not sure if you have the l4 or the v6 model accord but the l4 takes 5w30 not 5w20. #2 its right tight left lose they are not counter threaded #3 the point in hitting your trip button next to the speedo is to reset the maintenance light it will light up every 5k miles to signal you are due for an oil change. to reset this light turn your key to the 2 position and hold down the trip reset button. then while holding it down turn the car off. keep it held for 10 seconds then turn the car back to ignition 2 while still holding the button. wait a second and it should go away then you are on with your day

Shouldn't you take the cap off after you take the plug out, so your hands don't get covered in oil?

Does the 1999 honda accord have a transmission filter, if it does where is it at??

Junior Gamin - It shouldn't matter, just make sure not to burn yourself from the exhaust pipe.

Well made video! Simple instructions. Many thanks.

Do you need all that part just to change the oil? What if u just want to change the oil?

Thx for the vid

In the video you never showed which way you turned the oil plug. It is reverse threaded and counter clockwise right? I can't seem to get mine off. Tried both clockwise and counterclockwise with no avail. Also tried lightly tapping the end of the wrench with a hammer but again nothing. Tried spraying some WD-40 and it will not budge.

thanks for video

I had my oil changed and my car is releasing smoke in the exhaust under the oil filter. Is that normal ?

the drain bolt gasket seemed to be stuck on the drain pan when u took at the bolt

Gracias amigo! I didn't knew how to reset the maintenance light

Good video. Just my two cents, but I throw rags around the exhaust and other areas that the filter might leak on.

When you do a video about working on a car at the start when you mention the model and year you should say which engine that has. Then the viewer knows at the beginning if they found the right video.

Hello! How many miles has this engine, approximately? I find it curious that you use 5W20 oil in a vehicle having several years. On the other hand, they have a video where you explain how to drain and change the brake fluid for the 1998-2002 Accord? I appreciate your attention, best regards!

kiero saber como canbiar el catalisador de un honda acord 99

Just my advice but its best to put some oil in the new filter so its no bone dry when you start up the car...

What side do you put the jacks on

How long should your car be turned off before you do this?

does it HAVE to be a NEW gasket on the oil plug ????

Didn't know that about the reset trick. Thanks

in a perfect world,you should be able to remove that filter by hand depending on where it is

What is the part on the exhaust to the right of the screen at 1:05 (the honeycomb thing?)

Great vlog!

Thank you

The gasket is very important to you but you glossed over tightening the drain plug. Should be tightened to 33 ft/lbs so it wasn't overtightened probably, but you didn't tighten it enough

Is it ok to use 5w-30 instead of 20??

insane why ppl tighten filters so tight

Does any one nknow what the name of a arm near the oil filter

Visible, good quality video, quite exploratory. Great work sir.

Isn't it illegal to reset the mileage thing

Tried the reset button but didn't work.

Okay thx

I wouldn't use any fram filter on any car with VTEC or VVTi..or overhead cam or cams for that matter

U should have put new oil in the new filter be for putting on it better for the motor there suppose to be oil in it and u just left air now the car has to fill it its self so befor you drive since I didnt put oil in new filter befor pit it on let the car run and idle for 15 20 mins before driving

why 5w 30? is that best?

easy peasy

You said you Forgot to mention getting DRAIN PAN, you forgot to mention getting a gasket for the oil plug....man you forgot a lot in the video.

then why did you choose the tough guard I'm not tryna make u think I'm being a butt lol I'm just asking I have 99 accord

I don't get it, where in the engine is the oil filter?

TO THE GUY THAT MADE THIS VIDEO ANY STATE LICENSE MECHANIC WILL TELL YOU THAT FRAM IS SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR THE FORDS ONLY

I dont have a dad so this helps

5w -20 🤔I thought it was 5w30

what if i used 5 w 30?

Khi

Why are you using 5W-20 and not 5W-30?

this car does NOT take 5W-20 it takes 5W-30

Fram is at Walmart and it’s cheap junk. Don’t put it in anything your gonna keep for awhile, get oem or top quality name brand

2:04 “hand tighten don’t go overboard” as he proceeds to use a ratchet

Dude you skipped showing which way you turn your ratchet to take off the bolt and I stripped my oil pan bolt now I need a whole new oil pan never skip anything you think is significant cuz it might help someone else

I have a 4 cylinder.

I had no father

Missed bleeding the breaks. Some people will over look this,or,might even know how. Good info though just dont recommend sriving until the breaks are properly bleed out.

I understand y’all just haven’t been taught but I’m sorry I’m 18 and I’ve known how to change oil since I was 6 I’m thankful my parents taught me important life skills no judgement to y’all who never got taught I just think it’s sad the way the countries going

You made so many mistakes...... You didn't check the oil dipstick as you were adding the oil a bit at a time, you just went and added 4.5 quarts in one go. How do you know you had all the old oil drained out first? You didn't. In which case you may well have overfilled your engine with too much oil (which I'm betting you did).

finally changed the oil on my 98 Honda Accord by myself for the 1st time, thanks for the video.
