Vlad Kashchuk me too but the lady that sold it said they rebuilt it at 150k miles lol i dont know ..is synthetic better than the synthetic blend for my acura cl-s??
He didn't replace crush washer on drain bolt previously thats why he had an oil leak before he even started and he should have added fresh oil to the filters gasket, but overall it's still a good video for the D.I.Y.er
how u doing i bought my tl like 6 month ago when i just got it i change the oil and put 10w 30 mobile one full synthetic high mileage car has like 130k miles i live in fl so weather here is really really hot should i changed next time with 10w 30 or go lower with the 5w 30 same brand thanks
Glad to help. He suggested that because it may be a higher mileage vehicle and he wants to increase the oils density/weight for coating purposes. But Honda uses a fully synthetic 5W because the engines pistons are fit tightly. I would never vary from factory recommendations. Get 5W20 fully Synthetic and look for higher mileage vehicles on the bottle. You will be in much better shape than increasing the weight of the oil. Let me know if you need further help.
nice tl i got the same colour also, i was wondering did you use the jack that came with the car to do the oil change? I've heard you should get jack stands or something along those lines cause it's safer
I typically don't jack the car up when I change the oil. If you plan on jacking the car, It is recommended to get a more stable jack than the emergency roadside jack. I look at it like this...spending the money once and saving the money from an ER visit is worth the $50-$100 jack. Hope that helps!
I know it’s been a couple of years, but you should probably buy yourself some ramps to make oil changes a little easier. Also, you should always lube your oil filters before you put them on to ensure a good seal.
Michael Flores I don’t have the car anymore. Mine had 226k and ran great. Steering was tight and drove very smooth. I drive 5-6k miles a month and it was just too much for this car. Minor issues just kept arising...😕
That's never an idea scenario but since you ask...typically there is still a residue of oil left in the pan/block etc. Best case, it wasn't on long and it got very hot but minimal if any damage is done. You probably got lucky because typically the block will seize and you would be out thousands of dollars. Even with oil added after, it would be too late. But much worse scenarios could happen like catching your car on fire. Just take your time, be systematic and always check everything before pouring and before starting. Never rush this bc it almost always burns you in the end
Typically, for an oil change, I lift it with an hydrolic jack by the support beam behind the passenger side front tire. I also turn the wheel all the way to the right for easier access to the oil filter
+Chris Wilson ok. that makes two of us on the spelling but I just copied and pasted from yours. ok. So a typical car jack or do u have a different style?
+Michael Hinchey I have a 2.5 ton Jack that I use. I still place the stands In there for safety. Sometimes I will do it without lifting the car to keep from having to get everything out.
