    8thcivic.com

    So I'm over on 8thcivic.com (I am not a member), trying to see if anyone had anything insightful to say about what the best oil is to use in our 8th gen Si. People over there actually brag and make DIY's about changing their own oil...What? I guess they all can't be like r3v. /rant.

    Ricers are embarassing.

    because usually you don't have to remove anything just to do any oil change.
    Bought parts from me before? leave your feedback here

      No because everything on that car (concerning an oilchange) is completely accessible from underneath.

      That's like saying, let me take off my hood to change the airfilter...

                But where do I put the oil in? do i just add more oil on top of the existing oil? For being a DIY video, It sucks and is no where near complete enough for an actual newbie to follow trying to change his own oil

                    IDK to me it seemed like the guy was making fun of the general stupidities of making an oil change DIY video for an oil change.

                        This was really helpful! Anyone have a DIY video for how to change my gas?

                            I just tried this on my E30 but the filter wasn't where the video showed... WTF? Now what? Do I take the other wheels off too?
