I have launched a new channel called "In the Garage DIY". It will focus only on DIY car related maintenance and upgrades. You can find a re-edited and better version of this video there as well as much more to come. Thanks!
Who here also own a Honda Accord wink wink
Me. 2014 Accord Coupe V6 that I just had to change the starter on because it wouldn't start at 42k miles. Known problem that Honda won't own up to. $800 later I have a brand new car again. 🙄
@@HealWeGoAgain $800 ? Dang where did you take it
@@HealWeGoAgain sameee problem but around 60k miles
they want 79.99 for an oil change now. thanks for teaching me how to do it myself
n. buck No problem! Glad to help.
Kristopher Griffin same!!!! TERRIBLE

Nice stuff.
Thank you. 17mm socket size. This is what I was looking for.
Even though my car is a 1998 Honda Accord EX V6 I love the build quality and reliability. All the original features still work including the A/C. It has a silky smooth drivetrain and I do most of my own maintenance.Best car I ever owned.
Good video and very clear, paced instruction. I appreciate that you took the time to set up a stationary cameras with good lighting.
Yep that's exactly what I thought, didn't kill us with details and very good camera work now I know what I need when I go under my Honda.
Tip: I'd say remove the engine oil cap after you loosen the drain bolt and release it... Less pressure!
totally agree, less mess
Thanks for the tip
Jonathan Z true
Always remove the Cap first! This is just in case the cap is stripped. If you can't get the cap off and you have drained the oil you're stuck with no oil until you can get it fixed. Some oil caps pop like gas caps do and can strip. Kind of rare but it only takes one time to wish you did it the right way.
Also pop the dipstick up a couple inches for venting, as the dipstick goes directly into the oil pan.
I used to do this for a living. Always remove the cap first. Because has been pointed out below. What if you
you can’t get the cap off?
Just one more important detail that I don't see mentioned anywhere yet: Make sure that the gasket comes off when removing the old filter. Also, I see price comparisons for doing your own oil changes, but there are other advantages as well. Peace of mind for one. Oil change places have been known to screw up or even intentionally not give you the requested grade of oil.
Best oil change video ever posted, didn't take forever with details, and with great visibility, I thought I was under the car myself for a minute there !!!!
Thank you so much! That was way too easy. I can't believe I was paying someone to do this for me.
No problem!
LOL....
yes the dealership you go to charging $39 to change your oil most likely not using full synthetic Mobil 1 0W20 oil they use bulk generic cheap oil that comes in a 55 gallon drum sometimes when they get real busy they just reset your oil life without even changing your oil and filter i know some technicians that do this hahah
There is no way the dealership is putting in Fully Synthetic oil and 20,000 mile warranty Oil Filter for you. Most likely they will ask you to be back after 3,000 miles.
@@MeetalBhamre good to know! I thought a dealership would use the best. I never gave it much thought until now.
You forgot the oil reset
Wow, really?
I don't remember the washer for the plug 🤔 Should I be worried? Also, I just put the whole 5 qt in it. Is that bad?
I like your ramps!
Thanks! I'll be doing a video showing how to make them on my new DIY channel. Link is in the description box!
I love those ramps! Could you at least share the length of each plank? Would something like 120cm, 100cm, 80cm, 60cm, 40cm, 5cm height, 30cm in width each work?
Dimitar Dinchev I know the bottom plank is about 5ft (152cm). When I made them initially I just did it without measuring, but each plank gets shorter by about 1ft (30cm) as they are stacked.
width is 10in (25cm)
The planks how are they held together, nails or threaded screws?
Did your car not come with engine shield underneath
2014 does not have engine shield
I can confirm 2013 also doesn’t come with a shield
Thanks for the video. My 2016 Accord 4cyl is about one year old. My dealer did the first oil change for free at around 6,000 miles (with a slight upcharge for synthetic oil). Honda's maintenance reminder is now again signalling "15% oil life left," and nagging for a change, at only 11,000 miles. I've usually gone 7,500 miles between changes of full synthetic oil in my other cars, so I'm debating what to do now - follow Honda's nag light, or stick to every 7,500 miles.
Anyway, I hadn't crawled under yet to see where the drain plug and filter are located, so your video is helpful for that, and confirmation of 17mm wrench (like my wife's Pilot). I have two suggestions. First, spread a few layers of newspaper under the drain bucket when you drain the car and later when you transfer the oil to your bigger container (I use a five-gallon container) to take to recycling center (I take mine to O'Reilly Auto Parts). Second, go to Walgreens and buy a box of latex gloves in your size and use them when changing the oil. It makes cleaning up SO much easier, and avoids any potential health concerns from warm used oil sitting on your skin for a while. I wish I had started doing that years before I did.
Brent Johnson
no problem! I now have a transfer pump system so I don't spill oil anymore and gloves! lol Good note on laying out some paper around the drain bucket...the oil always comes out fast and splashes everywhere. also, I would stick to 7500 miles with full synthetic.
Thinking about it a bit more, I might follow their nag light while the car is under warranty. I wouldn't want them claiming that I voided the warranty by ignoring the nag light and going 7,500 miles between changes. But once the warranty expires, I think I'll switch to every 7,500 miles.
Brent Johnson
Every 5K would be a happy medium on going around changing oil, don’t u think so?
Brent Johnson 5p0
still have the honda? how much oil doesn't it burn? should have changed every 5k miles.
I would strongly suggest gloves when contacting used motor oil. That shit can fuck your hands up one with potential burns and two the high change of getting some cancer from being in direct contact with used motor oil...
you should get a fumoto oil drain valve. this way you don't have to remove the drain plug ever again to remove the oil..it cost like 25
Thank you
what about the oil sensor...does it resets automatically?
The maintenance minder doesn't reset automatically. 1) Turn the ignition on (do not start the engine).
2)Display the engine oil life by repeatedly pressing the SELECT/RESET button.
3)Press and hold the SELECT/RESET knob for more than 10 seconds. The engine oil life indicator and the maintenance item codes blink.
4)Press the SELECT/RESET knob for 5 seconds or more. The displayed maintenance item codes disappear, and the engine oil life display returns to 100%.
5)Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to verify the indicator has been reset.
Thanks for the video! The ramps are awesome, going to try making some now that I've seen yours!
No problem! The ramps have become one of my favorite "tools". Very easy to build as well. For reference the longest board I used on the bottom was about 5 feet long.
Thank you for this cant believe at 32 years old Ive been paying aomeone to do this. However is it required to drain out old oil and replace the filter each time you do an oil change?.
I like the wood ramps you made...great idea....may look into making some myself
+area859
Thanks! They are really easy to make and I don't have to worry about them collapsing.
The manual actually says 4.4 quarts w/a new filter. Anyhow, nice vid and wear gloves next time.
4.4, really??
@@aaronafrah Really
Great video. DO you know if the oil pan is steel or aluminum? I'm thinking of adding a oil pan heater for the winter months.
it's aluminum
Crush washer?!
Don't be surprised when you find all the way up underneath your car and it's not a 17 ml
I have same car same engine .I Bought it from USA .. As the weather different than here In Arab Gulf .in the summer between 100-120° F . so Do I need to use same as the cap say 0w20 or use 5w30 ?!
Do you have to change the “washer thingy” ?? Or can I just use the one that’s on there
Oh and hot oil changes under 30 minutes are fun......lol
yes lol...I just try and move my hand out of the way quickly.
How long have you used full synthetic oil? Do you like it?
That was the first oil change I've done on that Accord, but I run synthetic in every car I have. There is no downside other than it's slightly more expensive, but you can run longer OCI's (oil change intervals) with synthetic. I usually go ~7k miles between changes in my gas cars and 7k-10k in my diesel Golf.
You say oil level between the dots..or at the top dot?
Hello. How much oil do you drain out? does your wife's honda burn any oil? thanks.
I drained out about 4.5qts. Doesn't burn any oil.
Where did you find the crush washers
Mobil 1 is one of the best oil , I’m always used in every car Honda , Toyota , no complains
Joel Rodriguez I like pennzoil.
Is the new washer replacement necessary??????????
I have used the same washer more than several times with no issues. It is always recommended to use a new one every oil change. You should be OK to use the same one if you forgot to buy a new one.
Wow! No jsck stands..
I will never pay for a oil change again.
Did you raise all 4 wheels on the ramps or just the front?
I believe he just raised the front wheels
Nice and easy 5 minute video
17 mm ratchet and the filter tool
Should also warn people that if they don’t have blocks, and use a jack, that they still use something to hold the car up
If you depend on the jack solely, you can die easily
Thousands of do-it-yourselfers have died like that
What size blanks did you use for the ramp?
They are made from 2"x10" pressure treated lumber. I believe the longest board on the bottom is about 5ft long.
Where can you purchase the oil bolt washer?
Carl Gallawan Orielys autozone etc
Good vid what other repairs have you done or are you planning to do on that accord. Just curious.
Thanks! They only other thing I have done on the car is rotate the tires. I plan on doing all the maintenance myself, but the car only has 22k miles on it right now so it shouldn't need anything big for a while. If the CVT fluid change isn't too difficult I will probably make a DIY for that when the time comes. I will be installing a trailer hitch for my bike rack at some point and possibly some HID's since the car already has projectors. I'll try and make videos of the regular maintenance as well.....filters, spark plugs, coolant flush, brake pads...etc.
17mm socket,
Is the washer same thing as a drain plug gasket ? I went to get an oil change done and they charged me for it.
Great beautiful car can't wait to get mines
I lost the screws that hold the aluminum cover and I would like to know where to buy them.
Can someone help me?

What model exactly is that oil filter wrench??
Nic Loz Unfortunately I'm not sure the exact model number, but they are made by Channel Lock.
How many miles should I wait to get an oil change if I have a 2016 Honda Accord?
If you are running the Honda recommended 0w20 synthetic I would say every 5k miles. If you're using a non-synthetic oil I would change at 3k miles.
I would follow the maintenance minder. Even when using synthetic oil.
Most Honda dealers use a synthetic blend 0w-20 oil for these vehicles. I would have the oil changed every 5,000 miles for the best protection for your engine. The maintenance minder system isn't that reliable in my opinion since you'll be waiting for 10-15k miles for the wrench light to come on in order to change your oil.
This. I run the Mobil 1 0w20 Full Synthetic for 5-6k miles. The Maintenance Minder is just a counter...it doesn't actually sample the oil quality to give the readings.
Your initial oil change should be done at 10k. Honda uses a high moly oil that reallys hould be left in for the full 10k before you change it.
After that, its really up to you. Some ppl do every 5k, but with a quality synthetic and filter, you could do 10k easily. I split the difference and do mine at 7.5k
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO much this was so helpful 😊
can i use 5w-20 oil Mobile for my 2016 honda accord Sport 2.4L ?
What does the manual say?
yeh it said 0w-20 , but my dad want to use 5w20 and i don't know . will 5w20 hurt the engine ?
It will technically be "slightly" harder on the engine during cold starts and before the engine is up to temperature. The first number of the oil is the viscosity when the oil is "cold" and the lower the number the thinner the oil is when cold. 5w20 and 0w20 will have the exact same viscosity at operating temp, but the 0w20 will flow better on startup and lubricate better than 5w20 when the engine is cold.
thank you , but if i take time to warm my car up, would that be better to let all oil lubricate the engine?
Sure, just don't drive the car hard until it's up to temperature.
I can't believe I pay someone to do this.
How many quarters need the 2.4l
About 6,000 quarters for the 2.4l Earth dreams engine.
This video says 4.5 quarts. 3.5-6 is probably fine.
I have a 2015 CR-V and do my own oil changes. I always fill it so it is in between the two holes. the honda dealer told me to fill it to the top hole but the manual states it needs to be between the upper and lower makers (which is what i have been doing) and specifically warms against over filling. Any thoughts?
Jordan F Your way is the correct way. Do what the manual says, not the dealer. Most dealers just make stuff up. Overfilling is just as bad as underfilling.
Straight to the point thank you
thank you man!!! needed this
Another tip wear gloves
were you able to put all 4.73 oil from the gallon?
I like you homemade ramps! Great idea
Shake the oil bottle? Haha
dead inside
Honda recommends oil change at 5K interval, the oil you have used is good for 15K - do you stick to 5K or 15K? There plenty of videos arguing both sides of the coin, but wanted to know from your experience using the oil thanks.
Personally I will always change it at 5k-7k miles.
You could go with the maintenance minder but my blackstone lab results for several Accords show that outside of your warranty interval, 20k miles is fine if you have good oil and a good filter. One option is a fully synthetic oil with a good filter (e.g. honda blue oe, wix xp, Bosch is likely best). Alternatively you could change the oil annually, in case you roll fewer than 20k miles in a year. These Accords are 2015 with 107k miles, 2003 with 321k miles, 2002 with 180k miles, 1999 with 217k miles. If you really want to know, get oil analysis from a lab. If you really don’t want to know, then follow the maintenance minder.
I use the whe 5 quartz
what size is the crush washer
Taulant Boci I think they are 14mm.....you can get a pack a 50 washers on amazon for around $10.
ratm514 how many jack stands do u need, i don't wanna buy all 3
you can do it with 2 jack stands or 2 ramps like I did in the video.
ratm514
Hi. Don’t you have to raise the car on all 4 wheels off the ground to drain the oil completely and not on 2 front wheels only making it tilt on one side and not draining the oil completely? I’m thinking some of the oil gets trapped on one side and not drain if you don’t raise it on all 4.
Bred Saint So after you drain the oil, turn the car on & back up off the ramps onto level ground to drain the rest. Works for me
Do you have to change the crush washer?
Thank you!
I have a question. I have the same accord model as yours. Honda recommended 0w20. I'm living in a climate of 37-39 Celsius at average. Is 0w20 the appropriate oil or will it be better to change to 0w40? (Btw Honda manuals says it's alright to use from 0w20 up to 15w40)
I'm inclined to say that 0w20 should still be fine. If your cooling system is working properly the engine temps should stay the same as they would if you lived in a cooler climate once the engine is warmed up. You might want to check out Bob is the Oil Guy forums. That would be a good place to ask this question as they are pretty knowledgeable over there.
ratm514 thanks mate for the infos. Very helpful
No problem!
No reset ?
Nicely explained
Nice
I thought I heard you said from 14 to 16 model year. What about 17 model? I also like you build your own ramps.
A quick search shows the 2017 has the same 2.4L engine so the procedure should be the same.
richbf2 you should've waited for the newly remodeled next generation (10th) 18' accord.

1. There is a cover across the bottom of the car you have to remove to get to the drain plug.
2 The "5 gallon bottle" of mobil 1 is really 4.73 0:58 (pause) . The whole bottle is fine.
Thanks for the updated info. Our 2014 doesn't have an underbelly cover that has to be removed to drain.....they must have changed that. I assume you mean "5 quart bottle".....and yes it takes pretty much the entire bottle. 5qt=4.73L.
What oil filter can you use for 2016 Honda Accord sport
Bosch!!
Should have filled that new filter up with oil before you put it on!
Bob Jordan some people say it will be unfiltered oil
lol wow u left a nice errrl puddle to clean up but gj
lol I left out the part in the video where I spilled about 2 quarts of it when I was transferring it to my disposal container.
to reset the oil life ...the reference button you mentioned ....is it the select button on the radio console? If so...I'm having dificulty with reseting...any advice
It's the small button/knob next to the gauge cluster. The one that you reset the odometer with.
thanks found it and it worked
i can do this in my sleep as im a general service technician good video though.
Thanks! I just did a quick search before doing this and didn't see any videos of the newer cars so I figured it would help some people. Definitely an easy service. Less work than my 545i which has an oil filter housing you have to drain separately, then the oil pan, then remove the housing to replace the filter, then add 9 quarts of oil lol
ratm514 Typical 4 cylinder vehicle's take no more than 5 the V6 accord maybe 6

Why are you here?
Would 5/30 hurt the engine
Kevin Benfield YES. You should NEVER use a different weighted oil. Especially on vtec motors
did you end up changing the washer or the bolt? is it necessary?
I usually try to change it out......I've reused washers before and never had a leak, but I still swap them out most of the time.
ratm514 am i just able to get these from my local auto store or only dealers?
Cooper Johnson I've never tried getting them from an auto parts store....you can get like 10 of them from the dealer for a couple dollars though.
Please never start the engine unless you put the cap on. Always fill the oil filter at least 3/4 to avoid airlock. Before the drain oil loses the oil cap to avoid vacuum lock.
Thanks for the reply, I've been debating between using a ramp or jack stands, I feel a solid ramp like the one you made is safer than jack stands.
+Harvey Fogel
The ramps are definitely easier. No floor jack required.
I've used rubber ramps for years. They're a little wider but I still feel a bit queasy I'm going to go over the ends even though there are detentes. I put a large piece of cardboard under the drain catch pan just in case. I have a 1998 Accord V6 which has the oil filter at the front so good access. No oil filter wrench needed.
How good does ur accord run on that oil 0w-20?
Eric Mirabal Perfect. The car was engineered to use 0W-20....according to the manual.
