DIY Servicing: Required tools

[adamc11]

Yeah I got mine from dealer spare parts.

Auto stores sell a few different types but for b series the filter location is a bitch and I find the oem one works so well if I cant use my hand

I was able to undo the filter on my 86 accord by hand, was hard though. Did it up by hand also as tight as i could. It's in a really awkward spot to use an oil filter clamp :P

I've seen the aluminium race jacks at costco (sydney) but I think the jack is only rated for 1500kgs (steel jacks of similar size from super cheap are rated for 2500kgs) I have also read some on-line reviews saying it starts leaking oil if you try to lift stuff too heavy eg: try to jack up the whole rear end at the centre tow point.

It is only rated to 1500kgs but that's enough for jacking up a car at one end.
