Re: DIY: Oil Change w/ pics. & Reset Maintenance Required Light
I thought I could read this thread, utilize the info and go on my way but I have to tell you, I had trouble. At 3000 miles, my 1st oil change was on the house. I usually change my own oil so at 6000 miles I did. The only problem I had was the drain bolt wouln't unscew an I ended up taking the cap off with the drain bolt. After reading your intructions I knew what to expect so I did it slowly with minimal mess (no oil on concrete and thanks to gravity no oil on frame). Did I do something wrong or did the dealership over tourqe the bolt. After the cap was off I tried to take the drain bolt off and just short of using a vise I was unsuccessful. Anyway I replaced the filter 1 Oring and put the cap back on with no leaks. So I give MHadden a hearty thanks for your instructions because I would have been lost when encountering my problem.
