Ok - so it may be pretty dam self explanitory...but from recent and achived discussion...it seems some users seem to not even be able to change their underpants...let alone their cars oil !
Disclaimer: The following is provided as a GUIDE ONLY, and neither myself nor Ozhonda take any responsibility for the outcomes of someone else doing the following. You follow these steps at your own risk!
Aim : To simply change you vehicles oil at the 5000km reccommended intervals ! Why pay $100 to change it when all it SHOULD cost is $25 for oil and a 30c washer ? Look on......
Required : 1 x container of preffered engine oil , 1 x new OEM honda "sump plug" washer , 1 x "sump nut sized wrench" and a small funnel.
Steps :
Let your engine idle for a few minutes to circulate the oil throughout....then turn it off.
First , make up a disposable oil-container - either a tray or cut out a old container- which can be re-used for future oil-changes !!!
Next , pop bonnet , and unscrew the oil cap ontop of the cam cover.
Now , lay under the front of the car , locate the sump , and locate the sump plug
Position yourself , and the oil catch container underneath the sump , and position your tool onto the bolt head
Contain a good grip, preferably one hand upon the bolt head/tool shaft , and one upon the end of your tool - and slowly but firmly release the bolt.
After a few good turns , the bolt will begin to loosley sit - Take your tool away , and hand loosen - preparign for a mass of yucky oil ! *Wear gloves people ! Used oil can give u skin cancer!*
Let the oil drain until one or two drops every minute or so - then take sump plug and replace the washer with a new OEM honda item
Place plug with new washer back into hole , and hand tighten (with tool ofcourse)to a firm torque. Do not over tighten, as it may pre-stress the washer.
Next , get back up of yo ass - and place a funnel into the fill hole -
fill with your reccommended amount of engine oil - about 3 litres or so. . .
Screw the lid back on , dispose of used oil properly , and turn on car.
Let it idle for a minute or so - then turn off.
Check around sump for any signs of leaks , and check oil level upon dipstick and add/take away oil if needed.
And done !
Remember , every 5000kms you should change your oil - and every 10,000kms change both your oil and oil filter ! Easy !

Great guide that.
Nice rubber gloves... LOL
Clever idea with the expired oil container too....
Would be a good idea to JACK UP THE CAR - especially for the horizontally challenged and the first timers so they can see everything they need to see.....

Great DIY Hank!
Good idea with the used oil container. I have a tray but its now too tall to use under the car without jacking it up.
Also, with the gloves, I wear thin cotton ones, and then rubber ones over them, stops sweat inside the glove but keeps oil and stuff off my dentist-quality hands.

You don't HAVE to change it every oil change. I've used my old washer a few times. Main thing is to look out for the thread on the sump plug wearing out.
