Hand thread the oil filter on and hand tighten the oil filter on.

Add your oil, and check your oil level. (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d199/7thGenVillian/11232009158.jpg) Clean up and call it a day. I hope this helps anyone who is doing an oil change on their Accord. Title: Re: How To: Oil Change [K24] Post by: timot_one on November 24, 2009, 08:03:23 AM It sure helped me Thien!!

Anyway, this is good you post these up Thien. There's quite a few newbs out there that don't know a damn thing and this being one of the most basic of maintenance would be a huge help to them as well as a money saver.

This can help out some newbs. Title: Re: How To: Oil Change [K24] Post by: kriptix on February 10, 2010, 04:31:49 PM nice post but what kind of Oil do you guys usually use?

Title: Re: How To: Oil Change [K24] Post by: Jeff Likes Bagels on August 29, 2010, 10:36:36 AM Sorry for the thread bump, but i have a very simple question. For you guys running Purolator PureONE filters, how long do you go before switching it out? I plan on changing oil at 5k, and wasn't sure if the filter can handle two oil changes. Thanks.
Title: Re: How To: Oil Change [K24] Post by: CrackerTeg on August 30, 2010, 05:32:52 AM I do it at each oil change which I do at about 7500 miles of easy driving or 5k of hard driving.
