lets have a look what are some of items we are planning on using for the servicing remembering safety is the ABSOULTE IMPORTANT thing more than anything. I have heard some people say put the wheel flat on its side etc. under the car But car standards is must i believe.
Grey items - car stand
Red item - car floor jack

The oil filter is garbage i ended up having to use my friends oil filter wrench instead. The only positive using this would be the oil pan and funnel.

Below the front side fog light looking underneath the car is a metal part i used to jack it up from
http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s395/Snoop_Gee/CL9%20service/DSC02913.jpg

Because my car is lowered to a point where the floor jack doesnt fit under the front i had to use the Honda OEM jack that you find in the boot.
To lift the front high enough to get the floor jack under it.

Now that the Cl9 is completely off the ground and secured on the jack stands its time to take the plastic cover undearneath the car.

Honda is so smart.. love how they have this small plastic panel on the plastic undertray. Take this off with a 10mm socket.

You can then see the oil drain bolt the size of this is 17mm.

After loosing the oil sump drain bolt get that oil pan ready last thing you need is oil all over the garage floor.

Oil going into the oil pan

Engine oil appears to be completely drained out only a few drips left.

This is what i meant between a decent oil filter wrench for some reason the one i had doesnt grip on the oil filter and would slip and spin around it instead of latching on solid.

Before putting the oil filter back on put the engine.
put a bit of oil on the rubber ring seal

As for used oil i disposed it at my local used oil facility.
I found the following website very useful http://recyclingnearyou.com.au/motor-oil/

Nah there is no k20 CRX in this garage. Atm its out of my sight and out of my mind. :(

[mrgu]

Nice work!! Love the pics. Very detailed

I would also add in a couple of things:
- once old oil is fully drained out of sump plug, add some fresh oil to engine until the oil coming out of the sump is totally fresh (flushing all of the old oil out).
- oil to be put on new filter is fresh oil, not used.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Snoop_gee again.

How much oil to put in?

Nice write-up

How much oil to put in?

Nice write-up

About 4.5L (that is with the oil filter change). Less oil if you don't change the filter (about 4L i think).

[ouch]

dont know about you guys, but when i take the dipstick out it doesnt give me a solid reading of engine oil level. its all rubbed all over the place, instead of a clean marking on the dipstick. does anyone else get this? is it the way i take the dipstick out? ive only ever encountered this on K series too...

[brokenback]

Just let the engine oil drain back to the sump for a few minutes....~10 mins. Then take out the dip stick, wipe it re-insert it and read check level on it.

[CL9_euro]

Great write up! Will definitely be referring back to this post when i service my CL9.
By the way, is the oil filter code Z547(ryco)?
