This is a good video for anyone that has never changed their oil or only a couple times. I just bought a 2005 Element and I'm going to be changing it's oil and filter soon along with the VVT assembly with the oil pressure switch, solenoid and new rubber gasket with the screen built in and the rubber gasket on the back of the engine along with the screen built in on the front of the engine due to the engine running on limp mode causing the engine to shudder and the engine light coming on. The failure codes P2646 "low oil pressure" and P2647 "high oil pressure" came up. After I added one quart of oil because it was low, it took a few days for the engine light to turn of and the engine to run normal. As a retired motorcycle technician and machinist since May of 1979, I always fill the new oil filter with oil prior to draining the oil an removing the old filter. By the time you are ready to install the new filter it would have absorbed 95% of the oil and none will leak out while installing it. Also prior to putting in the new oil, you should shake the oil container to ensure all additives are mixed in with the oil due to settling while sitting on the shelf. If you don't do this, you can look inside the container at the bottom after it's empty and you'll see some of the residue of the additives at the bottom. These additives are important and must be mixed in with the oil. Even though it doesn't matter, I install the aluminum drain plug sealing washer the same way as in this video.
On most K-series, with the passenger wheel off it is a straight shot to the oil filter so you can use that plier-type oil filter wrench and crank the filter loose if its being extra stubborn. I do this every time now just to avoid getting splashed under the car when taking the filter off.
Yes that is one way to do it, I just don't like removing the wheel if I don't have to. This filter was definitely much more than the typical stubborn stuck on filter. Thanks for the input!
With the passenger wheel off, is there enough room to use your hand to twist off the oil filter and re-install the new one?
This Honda set up just plain sucks.
That splash pad and diverter are both really good ideas!
👍
I learned such a simple, but important takeaway during this video. That is to not spin the filter all the way off and splash oil everywhere, but instead, loosen slowly and control the draining...patience!
Great video for my first Element. I busted a gut and had to rewind to make sure I heard you right. At video 20:10 I think you mis worded that 😄 thanks for the laugh and great vid!! SALUTE.
I enjoy all your Honda Element videos as I have an 04. I am lucky as my Honda Dealer has scratch offs that they give you every time you get your car serviced. My last oil change was free as I had a free oil change scratch off. They are great! They have even given me free loner car in the past when I had to leave my car.
Nice, thanks for the comment!
Free? Free means you paid for it in advance, and they let you gamble for a chance to get what you paid for.
I had one of those oem deflectors for my '03 crv. Thing was great.
Great Tutorial... Thank You, Sir.
Thanks Big Dog a lot good pointers I picked up one or two. Thank You Sir...

This is really an awesome video. I learned a lot things. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
very good , well explained procedure and part numbers visible
Thanks 👍!
I wish I could find that oil deflector pan for my Element. I have never been able to find. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video chock full of “pearls” for diyer. I don’t have that blue oil spillway but contour tinfoil over cv joint etc and it drips where I want it , I use a small steel fi,ter Lisle filter wrench lined with rubber to grab that stubborn filter with or without breaker bar tube . Thank u !!
Thanks 👍!
Great info, thank u sir 👍
Thanks for the comment!
Well said on oil type. Correct weight, API service donut and good to go.
👍
Have you ever tried reaching through the right front wheel well to get the oil filter? Works okay but you have to be careful putting on the new filter by avoiding contact as you install it (to avoid getting dirt on the new filter base).
I see the oil filter, but how did you take it out so I could see it I didn’t see you take it out thanks
Love your channel . If U do the civic ac compressor replacement plz make a video of it . Thanks God Bless
👍
Thanks for posting ! I bought my 2003 Element new back when it first came out. Still have it with 261,000 mi on it. Best money I ever spent on a car.
I’ve never changed my own oil however, because it looks to be SO much of a pain. I never thought of using a long breaker bar to reach that filter. Thanks.
Recently I’ve been told I need my oil drain re-tapped. Any videos on that ??? Thanks for posting.
Re-tapping the drain plug? Maybe just start using a Top Sider to suck the oil out through the dipstick hole, so you don't even have to mess around with the drain plug. Or, you might just buy an oil pan, if it ends up being cheaper or easier than re-tapping the threads on the drain.It looks like they're about $40 online.
I go through the passenger wheel well. Works good for me
Do you need the wrench to reach the filter or does your arm and hand fit through the wheel well?
Enjoyed this video as I have an 06 Element. Mine has used 5W-20 Pennzoil Platinum Synthetic since it was new and it has never used oil, so for mine I see no need for a high mileage oil. And like you, I always pour in 5 quarts. Two questions for you: 1) What did you use to clean up that engine compartment, and 2) How many miles were on that Element. Thank you
That thing was CLEAN. I’ve got a 2003 with 261,000 mi on it. I was my under hood looked like that !
Will that Honda Oil Deflector work on a Honda Civic Si 06. What material is that you have for the oil not to splatter? So many cool tools you have.
First off, thanks for the comment! This deflector was not designed for those Civics, plus many of the Civics have aluminum oil pans and the magnet on the deflector will not stick to them. That beings said, some deflectors have more than one magnet so that they can work with aluminum pans (they stick to other parts of the car). The splatter pad was cut from this (they have square versions too): amzn.to/3fSJYWH
If the front tire is removed, the access to the oil filter is greatly improved. Put the oil filter on hand tight and wrench it 1/8 turn, after you oil the filter’s washer.
Removing the front tire can help on many models, I don't like to do that if I don't have to though. Thanks for the comment!
I turned the wheel a bit and had to squeeze in the filter, tool, and wrench one at a time.
I’ve tried that method and it’s good. I don’t use it as I don’t raise the vehicle off the floor. It’s a big tough but it simplifies the procedure.
I find that the Honda Dealer puts the oil pan drain bolt on so tight that I have to use a breaker bar to loosen it at home. They still do it, unfortunately, after I brought it to their attention. It turns a simple job into a small problem so I do the oil changes myself.
@@richardmorse5307 Having more than one ASAE certified tech is cost prohibitive, so many jobs are assigned to the dealership’s valet. The valet sweeps, vacuums, cleans up puke, cleans the toilets and does small jobs in the garage, like wipers, oil changes, and inflating tires.
That’s one fancy funnel! By the book oil change. Excellent video but I can’t see my sign!
This is a working shop, sometimes parts and tools get in the way lol! Thanks for the comment!
Thanks BD. Does the inclined vehicle cause more or less oil hang-up in the engine when doing a drain?
I don't believe there is much difference, if any.
The sad part is the person who put that filter on is probably out there doing this to dozens of cars a day (quick oil change place)
Probably!
I love the magnetic oil deflector, but I can't tell whether you made it, or bought it somewhere. I can't find any online.
its a honda part! i got one on ebay for 25$ im very pleased with it
I doubt the oil filter was overtightened in the first place. I’ve done dozens of these, and I only tightened the OEM filter 10-14Nm as directed. That’s usually less than the 7/8 turn you recommend. Yes, I prelube the gasket too. Still, those chrome Honda filter wrenches sometimes slip and destructive removal is necessary. Not a big deal.
Also, the rubber gasket is crimped solidly to the Honda brand filter. I’ve never had a gasket stick to the crankcase.
Thanks for the input!
Looked like an oil filter off of 1 of our 97 Tahoes when it finally came in for an oil change 2 years overdue
I use K&N with the nut on top. That was I can can get it from the top in seconds..
Thanks for the input!
Depending on the vehicle you can also put a screwdriver through the oil filter and try and take it off that way
Very true, not much room in there on this one though!
@@BigDog50001 yep saw that. Thank goodness for my dealer. Unfortunately I live in NYC and almost impossible to find a safe place to do your own oil changes.
Yep done that on a previous car after i bought it, last owner tightened it a lot.
I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND poking a hole in your oil filter unless it's already removed from the engine. Especially, if you're having trouble removing it. Why? Because it's possible that you won't be able to get the old filter off, and you can't drive anywhere with a hole in your filter. In other words, DO NOT PAINT YOURSELF INTO A CORNER. Some people might have multiple vehicles... in that case, do whatever you want.
Next, how to change brake fluid.
They need to put nut on filter like motorcycle ones. So much easier.
Thanks for the input!
There's special place in hell for those who is overtightening oil filters. Are Honda OE in US are made Purflux like in Europe? I use Mann filters and I'm happy with it.
Thanks for all tools tips/recommendations.
Honda has used a few manufactures, Honeywell, Filtech, Mahle, Toyo Roki etc. Some are made in US, others Japan and I'm sure there are more. Thanks for the comment!
I think mine was a bit loose on my new to me Element. Oil was low and oil found scattered on undercarriage and in the engine bay. Hopefully not something worse
