It is suggested that you change your engine oil and filter every 5000 miles.

-
Locate the hood latch beside the driver's side door, next to the left foot rest.
-
Pull the latch toward you to release the hood.
-
-
-
Walk around to the front of the vehicle.
-
Slide your hand under the hood, directly above the Honda emblem. Locate and pull the hood tab to unlock the hood.
-
Once the tab is released, lift the hood up.
-
-
-
Use your left hand to hold the hood up. Locate the hood stand and pull it out of the clip.
-
Place the tip of the hood stand into the hole located in the upper left of the hood.
-
You can now let the hood rest on the stand.
-
-
-
Place the hydraulic floor jack under the vehicle until the saddle is directly under the crossmember.
Just for understanding: the crossmember runs from the legt fender to right fender, or am I wrong?
( I mean left fender)
Correct-o-mungo!!
-
-
-
Push downward on the jack's lever to lift the saddle upward so that it contacts the crossmember. Continue pushing downward on the lever to lift the car upward.
-
-
-
Place the jack stand under the jack mounting point.
-
-
-
Raise the jack stand until it contacts the jack mounting point.
Floor jack is not designed to hold the weight. In case the jack stand fails, put jack stand under the car if possible.
-
-
-
-
Remove the dipstick by lifting vertically.
-
Wipe all the oil off of the dipstick and put it back into the dipstick port.
-
-
-
Remove the dipstick and examine the oil levels. The oil level should be between the two dots on the dipstick.
You should check oil level when your car is level, which means, before jacking the car.
-
-
-
Locate the oil fill cap on top of the engine and unscrew it.
Usually opened prior to opening drain plug to facilitate draining.
-
-
-
Crawl under the front of the car on your backside and identify the oil drain plug.
-
If there is any oil or residue around the drain plug, be sure to wipe it off before continuing.
-
-
-
Place the oil drip pan under the drain plug and begin to loosen the drain plug with a 17mm wrench.
Turn left or right to loosen?
Righty tighty—-lefty Loosey!!
-
-
-
Loosen drain plug slowly by hand until the bolt is completely removed and oil begins to flow, re-positioning the oil drip pan if needed.
Loosen or remove oil filler cap to allow oil to flow out more efficiently.
-
-
-
Let the oil completely drain into the drip pan.
-
Put a new crush washer on the drain bolt, then reinstall the drain bolt.
-
Using a torque wrench, tighten it to:
-
33 lbf·ft (45 N·m , 4.6 kgf·m) for 4-cylinder models
-
or 29 lbf·ft (39 N·m , 4.0 kgf·m) for 6-cylinder models.
-
Set the drip pan aside.
-
-
-
Identify the oil filter and place drip pan under the oil filter to catch falling oil.
-
Using a pair of channel locks, or flexible oil filter wrench (uses a strap to grip the filter), grip the oil filter tightly and twist counterclockwise to loosen.
-
-
-
Slowly loosen the oil filter by hand until it is free.
-
-
-
Drain the remaining oil in the filter by inverting it over the drip pan.
-
-
-
Get the replacement filter and lightly spread clean engine oil onto the rubber gasket of the new filter.
-
-
-
Thread the new filter into the oil filter port by turning the filter clockwise.
-
Once the rubber gasket contacts the engine block, hand-tighten the filter plus 1/4 turn.
Put a new washer on the drain bolt, then reinstall the drain bolt. Tighten it to: 33 lbf·ft (45 N·m , 4.6 kgf·m) for 4-cylinder models or 29 lbf·ft (39 N·m , 4.0 kgf·m) for 6-cylinder models.
See Step 16.
-
-
-
Using a funnel, pour 5 quarts of 5W-20 oil into the opening, making sure not to spill oil onto or around the engine.
-
Screw on and tighten the oil fill cap.
Engine oil change capacity (including filter):
(4-cylinder models)
4.4 US qt (4.2 )
(6-cylinder models)
4.5 US qt (4.3 )
You should not tighten oil filters with channel locks. Per Honda they are hand tightened plus a quarter turn.
Agree. Updated Steps 17 and 21.

Excellent tips and advice my brotha thnk. U keep up the great work
You should do it while the engine is hot so the oil drains faster. Removing the the fill cap should be done before removing the drain plug. That will also help the oil drain faster and more completely. And 5 quarts is too much for that engine. It's more like 4.4 or 4.5 quarts. Over filling it is really bad. The counterweights on the crankshaft will splash in the oil creating a froth with air bubbles in it causing the oil to not lubricate the engine well which will wear out the engine faster
Yeah. What he said. Well maybe not a hot engine... But certainly not a cold one.

Can u pls help me for my accord problem
I just recently change my oil last 3 months and now the dipstick is showing no oil I had use castrol edge 5w-40 fully synthetic oil and now there is no oil can u pls help me
Don't change oil when really hot. You WILL burn yourself.
NO, do not work on the engine “while hot.” The metal may expand and make the drain plug and filter harder to unscrew. You can also burn yourself with any oil that splashes.
Reset the oil change indicator:
Turn the key to the "on" position (be sure to not start the vehicle)
Press the Select/Reset knob used to access the odometer and trip readings until it displays the oil life percentage
Press and hold the knob until the oil life percentage begins to blink
Release the knob
Depress the knob again until the oil life percentage resets to 100%
Only newer models have this feature
You the man!
The oil pan drain plug will have a washer on it. Acts as a gasket. Don't lose it. You shoul use a new one each oil change.
Changed oil in I've 200 cars and have never seen this washer you speak of.
Then you’ve messed up on 200 cars because he is right…there is a washer( crush washer/gasket) that if you did not buy a new one u MUST RE-use…..knucklehead!!
Please help!! I want to change the motor oil of my Honda accord EX-L V6 and i do not know what oil to use???
People recommend 5w-20 full synthetic but 5w-20 high mileage should still get the job done.
Check the manual, Jose.
Always look at the old filter to make sure the rubber gasket is on it. If it’s not, It’s stuck on the block and you have to remove it before you install the new filter.
Good point, thanks. Added to the relevant step.
2004 v6 3.0 litre takes 4.6 quarts. Not 5. NEVER OVERFILL YOUR OIL.
What is tolerance level for engine oil in case it is over gauge?
Where is the fill line on the dipstick
Check your manual.
Where is the fuel filter located on a 2006 honda accord 2.4l
Out of scope for this DIY. Possibly in the fuel tank.
I checked my oil didnt notice it was on a hill and it was a little above the 1st notch. I only put a half quart in and when i checked at home on level its quite a bit over the second mark. Ive been driving it for 2 months no problems but i worried the seal would blow but ive heard the frothing of crankshift makes air bubbles and will wear out faster. Ive only put about 1500 miles on it how much damage do you think ive done?. Its 2007 fit runs great i just havent had time. I guess i should do it pretty quick i just cant figure how a half quart could raise it that much. I guess i already know the answer go do it just wondering how much damage i could have done?
If you haven't had problems, the "damage" could be minimal. But we're not psychic, you'll need to have a mechanic evaluate the engine condition for any problems from overfilling. Live and learn, now you know not to fill while on an incline again. :)
I change my oil every 5.000 miles like clockwork I did a compression test a few weeks ago and it's only lost about 2% of it compression and done 160.000 miles so well worth it
