So are we good with the 17mm wrench/socket? I'm changing the oil on my g/f's '07 Accord in a couple of days. Only thing is I have to use ramps so turning the wheel may be a problem. Thanks for the video!
@tcclark77 yeah you can still get too the oil filter with ramps.The oil filter may be very tight so before you even try to drain the oil, break loose the oil filter first
Under 14 dollars since when??? Autozone online! decent oil price shows $ 5.29/Quart. You need 4.5 quarts plus filter...Thats 23.80 Dollars Plus the cost of filter another 5 or so dollars Plus Taxes. So it is not necessarily cheap to change oil yourself.
@athiam152 less than 14ft lbs those things can strip easily,tighten with hand first then use your ratchet a little less than quarter of a turn.LESS THAN 14FT LBS!!!!!
@amgad3 5w-30.Honda uses 5w-20 just to get that last hp and mileage from engine.I feel 5w-20 is way to thin.5w-30 is like water at 2500 miles.Imagine what 5w-20 would be like
great video, looking at replacing my current vehicle with an 07 accord v6....this looks so easy to change I can't change the oil in my current GTI without a car lift due to it's complicated cartridge type filter.

Yo did you say 17mm is size of Drain Bolt ? The manual says you have to buy a special tool from Honda to open bolt ?
I just bought a 06 V6. Gonna try to change it tonite with 17 mm. Thanks.
