[EK1.6LCIV]

x2 ^ that too, even after two flushes I still had a lil bit of old crap in there, but at least 80% is new fluid

Thanks guys.I did all of the above except flush it out.I let it idle for a good 20-25 minutes and squeezed the hoses a bit to get all the air out of the syste.It took 3 liters aswell not 2 - 2 1/2 lires like I thought sincs the coolant bottles are 5 Liters not 4.

How hard is it to get the oil filter out under the intake manifold there on the y4?

[bennjamin]

easy.
get te right tool to loosen it off and then you can hand loosen it off.

Cheers ben.Will a standard oil filter wrench do the job do you know?

[bennjamin]

sure. use one like this with a ratchet

[beeza]

Ah cool,I'll use the standard one this time and see how hard it is.If it's hard/tricky,I'll buy that cool looking spider doovie
It dosen't look like it would grip an oil filter but it obviously must.
Thanks mate!

make sure those are clamped on properly, I've seen someone **** their hand up pretty badly cos it wasn't on the filter properly.

Just get the OEM Honda filter removal tool, its roughly 10 bux, brillant piece of engineering, sooo simple

[beeza]

Oh yeah,that sounds sweet too.Will it work on the y4?

its made for oem honda oil filters , which 95% of hondas use. Including your engine.

make a new thread about it if you want to discuss rather than confuse this one!
