How to change your oil

[SupraSaver87]

My Rant: Ok, well I just finished changing the oil on my MKIII....don't ask, just don't freakin ask.....I hate Japanese designers...they should have "Big hand" gloves when designing stuff. anyways.....


First: Raise the car up, I used two jack stands just aft of the front tires, on the main support rails under there.

Second: Look for the oil pan, then remove the bolt that is in there.

NOTE: Do remember to loosen it with a ratchet, then put a pail in the way to catch the low velocity stream of oil, then unscrew the bolt the rest of the way with your fingers.

Third(And the hardest): Remove oil filter, and replace with new one.

NOTE: There is a reason I said that the third step is the hardest....SPACE!!! Or lack there of. You WILL NOT have room to get an oil filter wrench in there, so if it is on there pretty good, call you good ol friend bubba over, and let him reef on the thing for a while.

Next, once the oil filter is removed, you now have to lift the filter OVER the brace (You'll know what I mean once you get under there), down over some other stuff, and it will drop down about 6" - 1 foot later.

Well this is still general, but it should help ALOT of ppl.

I opt this get "sticky'd", and if it does, I'll re-write it to sound better, and it'll be more in depth than. It took me about 1 hour to figure all of this out, and I only gave myself 1 hour, and about 8 minutes to do this before I had to be at work....lol.
