Myth on oil
1. Conventional oil has to be changed every 3,000 miles. False!!
Conventional oil starts to break down around 7,500 miles. The 3,000 mile
myth was made up by the oil companies for people to by more oil.
Changing your Engine oil Tool List.
First make sure you have the tools to do this job yourself.
Things you will Need.
1. Ramps/Jack/Stands(this gets the car in the air so you can get under it).
2. Drain Bucket(this holds all the oil that comes out).
3. Oil Filter Wrench/Screwdriver(sometimes you can take it off by hand, the screwdriver is so you can puncher the oil filter and turn it).
4. Socket or Wrench that fits the Drain Plug.
5. Gloves(so if you can remove your filter by hand you dont burn yourself).
After you have these items make sure you have the type of Oil and filter you like. Also make sure you have the right amount. 4 Quarts is what you will need to complete your oil change. I also like to get an Engine Flush everytime I change my oil, this is not needed. I highly recommend it.
Changing your Engine Oil
1. Make sure your car it at operating temp.
2. Get your car in the air so you can get under.
3. Place bucket under Drain/Oil Filter(I like to remove the filter first).
3. Remove Drain Plug/Oil Filter and walk away for about 10 min(this lets all to the oil to drain).
Filling Your Engine Oil.
1. Put new Oil Filter on(HAND TIGHT ONLY!!!!!)
2. Put Drain Plug in oil pan(tight but not tight enough to strip out).
3. Fill oil with 3 1/2 Quarts of oil.
4. Move car to Level ground.
5. Turn car off wait 5 min and check oil.
6. Fill oil if low.
You have just completed an oil change on your car, and saved $25-50 bucks.
Changing your Transmission oil Tool List(this is for manual transmission).
1. Ramps/Jack/Stands(for tranny car needs to be level).
2. Drain Bucket.
3. Filler Funnel(one with long adj end).
4. Wrench to remove drain plug.
After you have all your tools make sure you have the type and weight oil you like. Also make sure you have the right amount. 4 Quarts will do. 3.5 quarts is what a BE/BH5 MT takes. Ask your local dealer or auto parts store for correct amount in your car.
Draining your Transmission Oil.
1. Make sure Transmission is warm(makes the oil easier to come out).
2. Remove Drain plug, and wipe off metal shavings(this is normal, just make sure there is not huge chuncks of metal).
3. Walk away for about 20 min(this makes sure all oil is out).
Filling your Transmission Oil.
1. Make sure drain plug is tight(not to tight to strip).
2. Make sure car is level.
3. Fill oil with 3 quarts of oil(dipstick is located under stock airbox).
4. Drive around the Block.
5. Check oil and fill to full level.

Changing you Rear Diff Oil Tool list.
1. Ramp/Jack/Stands(car needs to be level).
2. Drain Bucket.
3. Breaker bar.
4. Vaccum pump(this will pump the oil from the bottle to the diff).
After you have all your tools make sure you have the type and weight oil you like. Also make sure you have the right amount. 1 Quart will do. .8 Quarts is what BE/BH5 takes. Ask your local dealer or auto parts store for correct amount in your car.
