Tools
Jack & Stands (I wouldn't recommend the stock jack if your physically going under the car)
Ratchet; 19mm & 1 1/2 or 36mm
Standard 1/8":
Oil Pan
5 qts of Oil (Consult your manual for Oil requirements, I use Mobil 1 0-40)
OEM Oil Filter (Bought from dealer)
Please make sure your car has cooled off, or at least you've gave it some time to cool. Coz it really does get hot in there. Use of gloves highly recommended!
1.) Jack up car. I used the stock jack location and placed stands as so.. coz you never know
2.) Remove Undercover using standard 1/8" (4 on each side)
3.) Once removed you can see the pan and filter-housing as so:
4.) Place your oil pan near the drain plug. Use the Ratchet w/ 19mm to remove plug:
5.) Let drain until oil completely stops dripping
6.) Once all the oil has exited the pan, plug it back up:
*not required but I like to use some sort of anti-seize gunk, less strain removing the plug next oil change
7.) Unscrew the Housing "cap"
8.) Reposition your oil pan under the filter housing.
edit
9a.) Insert one of our allen keys into the "nipple" and push the nipple up and to the side to drain the filter housing.
Don't forget to reset the nipple once you're done draining the filter housing!
/edit
9b.) Remove Housing using Ratchet with 1 1/2" (36mm? is the "correct" fit, but I've use 1 1/2" because that's what I have and it works)
10.) Remove old filter and filter rubber washer, Insert new filter and rubber washer
11.) Replace the underbody cover.
12.) Remove stands and take car off the Jack.
13.) Re-Oil tha motherfucker I usually use 4 & 1/2 Qts to get in the middle of Min/Max (It takes 1 quart of oil to move the Oil level on dipstick from Min to Max)
Here's my procedure to check oil levels:
Put 4 quarts
Start car, let idle, turn off car
Check Oil Level
Add as necesarry to get correct level
Please dont over oil the engine, we all know that wont be too good for your cat.
