350Z Oil and Oil Filter Change; a how to

[saulvald]

thanks buddy i appreciate your helpful video!

[FramesNmotion]

I 100% agree with rusher98. A wrench should only be used to remove a filter!

The general rule is to tighten the 'new" filter 1/2-3/4 of a turn BY HAND from the point in

which the gasket mates with the seating surface on the motor. Otherwise the rubber has a

a much greater chance of squeezing out of it's groove after a few heating cycles. Something

you will never notice until its too late and most of the oil has been pumped on the ground.

350Z is easiest oil change in my stable.

[rusher98]

you never ,ever tighten a filter with a torque wrench!!!

[Slow2Pro]

@rusher98 If you dont want to then don't. But how else to you know the exact tq?

[hook1351]

where did you get the monitor with the engine diagnostics??? and how much was it?

[Kewlhurt]

How do you lift the car?.....I have jack stands......did you use a floor jack?

[Slow2Pro]

@Kewlhurt yes on floor jack.

hey how good are this cars? and how expensive is to maintain one? I'm debating what will my next car be and this is on the list. I'm trying to get some pointers thanks!

@caquillo07 I own an 07. Bought it used with 35k miles on it in 09. It has about 60k miles on it right now and haven't had a single problem other than changing tires and the battery once. Easy to maintain and fun to drive. I drive it daily too. Definitely look into it :)

thoughtful, well-made video, man. for me, i'd have to say that the only thing that's different car-to-car about changing your oil is how *exactly* you lift the car up. the rest is somewhat standard. but that's not really something you are covering here, and would like to see in another video like you did here. nice work.

[Poeticbladezero]

Wait.....did you just say it's an 05 model with the HR engine?.......did you swap it or something? 

[Slow2Pro]

@Poeticbladezero Rev-up, HR, slip of the tongue nbd 

[Poeticbladezero]

@Slow2Pro Oh ok wow I didn't know they had that.......

[sylsylee]

@Poeticbladezero The HR has dual intakes, you can see in the video that this one only has a single intake. Nice video.
