Thanks man, that was helpful :tiphat:

:ugh:

It is unnecessary to remove the entire engine cover. The four bolts at the rear of the cover should be enough. The flap can then be folded back and held in place with something. I use a small bungee cord. That should save a chunk of time.

for me it's easier to see the entire bottom of the engine and full access to the oil filter so i dont have any drips.

also a good time to inspect other parts of the car, so removing the shroud does have its advantages. i dont care about speed, really. i spend a good 30min dripping the oil.

thanks. I let it dripping for more than 3 hours, I even went out shopping for a while.

Nice video! I thought I was the only one worried about oil pouring out on me when removing drain bolt lol

Nice video and good quality also, I would suggest a couple of things for the next change that might help.

1. Use your torque wrench for your oil filter and your drain plug.

2. Use some brake cleaner or contact cleaner to get the last bit of oil residue off.

3. Lower car to get a accurate measure on the dip stick.

4. Crack a beer or two after you finish to admire your car and for saving money not having the dealer do it.

Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Brake cleaner?

Brake cleaner is a good solvent and not very expensive. Dries without leaving a residue also. Try it some time.

Where would you spray it? Just around the oil pan surface?
