Well That Was Easy!

SpmnE9zero · 07-08-2009, 07:47 AM

I have read on here numerous times that people were having a hard time changing their own oil, I must say I am a lil confused.

I changed my oil last night for the first time since I have purchaced my car and it had to be the easiest of any car I have ever owned! If you have any mechanical inclination at all it will not take over a 1/2 an hour, given you have all the proper tools.

Oh yah, that too, don't tell her I forgot about her in that last post! LMAO!

BTW, I have been on Hubert in Cali to throw me a SPP shirt for my rather large order thru them and he keeps telling me their all out, typical salesman.
Can you send me one Craig? C'mon hook me up man!

Good to know...I will probably do my non-scheduled one myself at home.

Yah, it's really no big deal at all.

-Warm up car.

-Remove filter cap (located in best place ever, directly ontop of engine, has a black, round, twist off lid) and replace filter and both o-ring seals that COME WITH FILTER. Filter just pulls out of housing.

-Remove oil plug (located inside a plastic flap under car, easy to locate).

-Let drain into oil pan until it stops.

-Place filter cap with new filter and seals back on the car making sure it is pretty tight.

-Prior to reinstalling oil plug make sure (old) crush washer came off with bolt when you removed it, if not it will be stuck to oil pan.

-Install oil plug with new crush washer (new washer comes with filter).

-Dump new oil in (e90 = 7qrts).

-Check for leaks under car.

-Take car around the house, when you get back check for leaks under hood and under car.

GL.
