yeah that on the breaker bar.....it will bust......just try tapping it a couple times, maybe with a hammer or wrench....not the plug, but the wrench.....at the end of the wrench....it will bust......i take it that it is your first time.......just gotta use some man power......tell your car you mean it.

hahaha...I will tell me car that 2morrow morning for sure!!!

Thanks for the help...ya know maybe I was turning it the wrong way, but im not sure.

RCHamel3 · 04-20-2008, 01:05 PM

ok i gave it another go this morning and it worked. Just had to take a few good hammer shots to the wrench to get it loose.

kk i havent changed my oil since winter and im not sure what happened but the drain bolt is on real tight. i cant tell if it should be coming off clockwise or counter.. anyone?

**truflip** · 06-28-2008, 12:01 AM

well.. its counter. had to pry that sh1t off with my impact wrench. ugh.

RCHamel3 · 06-29-2008, 09:42 PM

has anyone used the amsoil filter rather than the honda oil filter? I am assuming that it would be better.

**truflip** · 06-30-2008, 02:06 AM

the honda oil filters (AO2) are made by honeywell/fram. basically the same fram stuff u find at wally world (orange filters) and ive heard theyre not the best. i hear also that amsoil is the best filter around. but u pay the price. also u can use it longer... so price might pay off

ebdiam · 06-30-2008, 02:39 AM

Is there a DIY to change tranny oil?

Yeah.. I def think it is worth the price. I remember reading somewhere that you should never use fram filters bc they are not good. I think I will get the amsoil for my next change.

Amsoil and Mobil 1 are really good oil filters. You can't get either of those at Wally World. Haha

hOstL · 07-12-2008, 12:02 AM

Ok so i got this oil AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil and a K&N oil filter for my 2007 SI. Is this oil going to be ok? The guy i bought it from said it would be.

haha...on second thought maybe i should stick with the honda filter just in case i have to go back to the dealer for any reason.

Has anyone used another oil filter and went to the dealer? any issues with that?

RCHamel3 · 07-13-2008, 09:58 AM

anyone have any thoughts or tried this?

I've seen Mobil 1 oil at Walmart but not the oil filters. I'm in Virginia Beach and they only have the Fram oil filters. Where you located?
