We'll be changing the oil and filter on my JDM-import 1999 Honda Odyssey with the 2.3L four-cylinder engine
-
-
-
Thankfully this car has a centre lift point at the front of the subframe at the tow-hook
-
I just used the normal pinch welds to put the jack-stands under
-
-
-
Open up the bonnet/hood for more light under the vehicle
-
I like to use cardboard to climb under the car
-
-
-
Position your drain pan, the drain bolt faces towards the rear of the oilpan
-
On this 1999 Odyssey it was a 23mm drain bolt
-
-
-
-
One of the hardest parts of this procedure
-
Honda put the oil filter mounting on the back of the engine block under the intake manifold
-
You have to reach past the subframe, exhaust, and axle
-
I like to use oil-filter pliers, but there are a few different tools that can be used
-
Check to make sure the gasket came off with the old filter and did not get left behind on the block
-
-
-
I used a JS Asakashi C-307J, (made in Japan)
-
I can order them shipped from Singapore cheaper then I can buy locally from Repco or Supercheap here in New Zealand
-
Oil up the gasket on the new filter
-
Clean the mounting plate on the block with your rags
-
-
-
If you've not already, put the drain bolt back in
-
Tighten the new oil filter 3/4 of a turn after it touches the block
-
Tighten the drain bolt without breaking it off :)
-
Clean around the filter and bolt with a rag so you can see any leaks
-
-
-
Remove your cardboard and tools
-
Lift the car again from the centre lift point with your hydraulic jack
-
Pull the jack-stands out from each side
-
Carefully lower the car to the ground, leveling it for filling
-
-
-
In the photo, the red circle is the oil fill point, and the yellow circle is the dipstick
-
I used Nulon 10W-40 full synthetic
-
I needed about 4.5L or so to fill
-
I like to use a stubby wide-mouth funnel
-
Pour large oil bottles sideways to reduce the blub-blub effect
-
-
-
Run the engine for about 10 seconds to fill up the filter and oil galleys
-
Turn the engine off and check for leaks
-
Check the level using the dipstick and a rag again, it should have gone down a bit due to the oil filter filling up
-
Top up the level to the upper range of the dipstick
-
Servicing done!
