Required:
Steps:
- Floor Jack
- 4x Car stands
- Oil Filter wrench not cheaper ones
- Oil Pan
- 17mm socket - engine sump bolt
- Oil filter
- Honda OEM oil
- Funnel
Drive it to flat surface ..
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.
using the floor jack get the back up on this metal part.
Below the front side fog light looking underneath the car is a metal part i used to jack it up from
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.
