I guess you're not a motorhead, D...


$400 for 60K service? What kinda car? Doesn't sound that outrageous, really.

I am, except being at an apartment, I don't have the garage room to work on the car. Changing oil is nothing, really.

It's a 2000 Honda Civic. I saw the list of things they do at 60K. It's just the idea of paying $400.

Move down here. My garage is always open for friends. :D

Yup. But you do have to contend with the tranny to get to the filter, ne?

Thanks for the offer. It's hard to live in California, period.

It is a little tight under to reach the filter. But if I twist my arms a certain way, I can usually get to it. It's a little difficult at times to get enough torque on the filter wrench to loosen it.

Twist your arms? Mr. Fantastic are ya? ;)

What kinda filter wrench? endcap? belt? metal strap? pliers?

lol both my Subaru's are easy to get to the oil filter... Heck I don't need to get under the car if I did not want to, Just reach under the middle left side of the car and unscrew.

You have to get under the car to drain the oil, ne?

Or does the Subaru just burn it all? :hehe:


Gomen. Couldn't help myself. :sweat:

I used either the belt or the metal strap, whichever I can use to turn the blasted filter. :sweat:

On my ex's Accord, I had to remove the driver's side wheel to get enough leverage to twist that bugger off... Grrr.

On my Bimmer, I just remove a cap on the top of the block and replace the paper element... ;)

Geez, that's terrible. The filter is smack dab in the middle. It's any wonder I don't get oil on me when I twist off the filter.

Gotta get on my knees or you can get a Fumoto valve and never get under the car again.
