I use a piece of aluminum foil loosely formed over the structural member beneath where the filter is. It helps reduce the mess a bit from the oil that comes out when removing the filter
I can't take the engine oil plug off via a socket wrench, tried hit the cap and heat the engine, no idea how to get it out. Wondering how other people get this done.
Add a pipe on the end of your wrench for extra torque. Tap it with a rubber mallet if necessary. Remember facing the bolts top, loosen counter-clockwise.
My 2018 Honda Odyssey EX takes 6.7 Quarts of oil. When ever I do the oil change I have to buy 2 of the 5 quart jugs.... The oil filter itself takes around 1 quart of oil..
My 2012 takes 5qts, every and I also use Mobil1 0w20 ($23 gal at Walmart) oil and filter, and a Fumoto Drain Valve to save on wrenching the plug every time.
I really loved this video. Since this video I have bought a torque wrench and car ramps which make the oil change so much easier and correct for the oil plug. I also read on several sites that it is good practice to put in the full 5qt. This does not damage the vehicle. Thank you.
Hi, I bought one of these used with 60k miles on it. The axle boot by the oil filter was either leaking or had oil on it. Looks like you have done this a couple of times...Do you think it is possible that the dealership got oil on the axle boot when changing the oil? They look really close together.
