Thanks for sharing, just wanted to see an overview and will make sure to have my funnel handy. Custom oil filter tray diverter was smart but that makeshift funnel wasn’t. Clean oil through a dirty funnel is like drinking purified water out of a dirty cup.
i wonder if the 2025's oil filter is in the same location? This is making me want to get a Subaru even more. There's is on the top under the hood like my Dodge Journey. Easiest oil change i've ever done.
Call me paranoid, but I would slide a second jack under the car next to the hydraulic jack. If the hydraulic jack fails, at least you have a fixed jack to stop the car from crushing you.
I agree! Although This jack is brand new. This is my second home and my shop is 2,000 miles away with all my tools. For some reason I couldn’t find the other jack stand. In this garage.
Sorry I just saw someone already mentioned this and you replied, don't mean to pester you. Thanks for the upload, just got a new 2025 and fixing to do an early 500 miles oil change to clear some of the break-in metals. Will send the oil for analysis just to see how much particulates come from the rings and bearing seating.
Maybe the new model is different, but I usually don't even have to lift my pilots to change the oil. They are high enough off the ground that if you know what you are doing you have just enough room.
@@SuperDancingdonkey true enough, turning the wheels far right to access/expose the oil filter, feels like too awkward of a reach for my middle-aged herniated discs body lol. Blocks behind the rear wheels and, jack up, and lower on my esco jack stands, takes about 5 minutes and seems secure, easier to reach when collecting oil samples for analysis. Maybe I'll try an unlifted oil change like you suggest, after I'm done analyzing the oil for the first few changes during break in.
I have a 2025 touring and I noticed that is two different air conditioning drain for the condenser one for the front and one for the rear the one for the rear it’s not draining any water it’s normal or not. Anybody have the same issue

I agree, but for what it’s worth, the cardboard was clean..
The oil is picking up paper fibers as it flows through your cardboard funnel and into the engine…
I guess the filter will eventually trap it.
Thank you for the step by step😎😎 About to do my pilots 1st oil change

I have a civic si and change the oil , also have this and hate the side way filter vs straight down

Erics, I’m with you! Better to have a set of two jack stands holding the vehicle up while using the jack as a backup!

Was there a screw in the tire? Time stamp 0:54 or so, the screw(at least looks that way) was in the corner of the inner side of the tire.
Buy a 2nd jack stand and some chocks brother. Better safe than.. you know what

Oil filter location is horse shit.
I agree…the engineers can’t make it readily accessible? 🤨
But…not nearly as bad as the GM 3.6L V6. You can’t even see the filter…you gotta do it by feel. 🤨
@@carlovanrijk4039I burned the shit out of myself on one of those 😂
@@davewilson7602 I have no doubt about that! It’s in a piss-poor location. What were the engineers thinking? 🤨
