The DIY Oil Change
#152
Lmfao you're joking. Just buy an extra quart of oil and dump the whole quart in there. Reving an engine with low/no oil will cost and cause damage

What do you guys use the remove the drain bolt? I tried last week and again this morning to get the damn thing off and it wouldn't budge. I used all the strength I could and it did nothing. After about two hours of trying I dropped it at the Honda dealer since I couldn't get it or the transmission bolt off, luckily they said they would do it for labor cost since I had the fluids and they promised they wouldn't overtorque the bolts.

Aside from the 2x4 method, are there recommendations for a decently priced set of low profile ramps?

Won't need ramps again with this. Fumoto valve. Love em. Change the oil with just the hood up. No more messing with the drain bolt. I have a 'pliers' style oil filter wrench that is fine, WalMart.
