Lift Car On To Jack Stands - • How To Completely Lift...
1. First, it’s a good idea to run the car outside for a bit; this ensures the oil is warmed up and makes draining it easier. Obviously you’ll want to avoid touching anything hot once you do start working on the car.
2. Second, we’ll need to lift the car up onto jack stands. I’ve explained how to do this in a separate video. It’s certainly not necessary to lift it onto all four jack-stands as seen for just an oil change, but I’ll be addressing other fluids while under the vehicle. As you can tell this obviously isn’t a sponsored video as these companies tend to not like being in a video together, but I like these companies products so I’m using them for different fluids in my car.
3. Next we want to place a drain tub underneath the car, and then remove the oil pan drain bolt, to drain the engine oil. It can help to crack open the oil fill cap to help drain oil.
4. Once the oil has finished draining, move the drain tub underneath the oil filter, and unscrew the oil filter. You may want to do this fairly slowly, to allow the oil to drain out into the tub. When removing the oil filter, make sure the rubber gasket from the old filter does not remain on the engine.
5. Rub a small amount of new oil onto the gasket of the new oil filter, in this case I’m using a genuine Honda filter specifically for the S2000. Then screw the new oil filter on. After the rubber gasket seats, tighten the oil filter based on what the owners manual recommends, or what the oil filter recommends. In this case Honda recommends a 7/8ths turn of the filter after the gasket seats, or 16 lb-ft.
6. Next, screw down the drain bolt, replacing the 14 mm washer. A lot of people like to use the old washer, but you can literally replace it with an OEM washer from Honda for 30 cents, so there’s really no reason not to replace it. Most auto parts stores will also carry them. Tighten the drain plug to 29 lb-ft using a torque wrench, and be sure not to over tighten as this is an aluminum drain pan and you can damage the threads.
7. Be sure to clean off any oil that remains on the drain plug or oil filter.
8. Pull the drain tub out from under the car, and lower the car back down so that it’s level. This is especially true when you’ve just lifted the front end up onto jack stands.
9. Unscrew the oil fill cap, and add the recommended type and quantity of oil, in this case 4.8 liters or 5.1 quarts of SAE 10W-30.
10. Screw the oil cap back on, and run the car for a few minutes in a well ventilated area. Check underneath the car to ensure there are no leaks. Shut the car off, and address leaks as necessary.
11. Check the oil fill level using the dipstick, and make sure the oil fill level is just below or no higher than the top mark of the dipstick. Add oil if necessary.
12. Finally, dispose of the old oil properly. Many auto parts stores will recycle it, or you can take it to a local hazardous waste disposal area for recycling.

NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I just chuck my old oil container on my neightbor's yard.
dinkleberg...
Kevin the Canadian haha same here , i just drain it late at night into my neighbors backyard
Your comment just made my day
LordWalrus Im glad i can finally make someones day by telling the truth
Kevin the Canadian LMAO
I read the title as $2000 oil change and I was like what
Same! Was waiting for the reacharound.
haha
john murray can u even read
This is 1 car I want to own in my life. Love the chassis and the F20C engine. Great video!
Pro tip: Have the new oil container sideways so it doesn't glug.
He had to show the name, it is a paid promotion.
Oh right
A2892Z He could have held the jug sideways if he took a moment to change camera angle, then it would not glug, the logo would be visible and everyone would be happy.
The correct way to hold an oil container is with the pour spout up. Totally opposite of the way he is holding it. Unless of course your sponsor wants his name visible! In that case, Pennzoil should print the label accordingly. Congrats on approaching 1 million subscribers!
Or you can use a funnel and go crazy! ;)
after watching chris fix, I've become an expert at oil changing, it's like Changing a baby's diaper, messy work but it has to be done.
chris fix ftw !!!
It's even easier with a oil pan valve. The residual oil in the filter is annoying.
Make sure you change the blinker fluid.
Alex Gonzalez also add blue Kool aid to your radiator to insure the maximum cooling capability
I love the blue Kool aid.
Alex Gonzalez also inflate tyres with Helium. Helium is much lighter than air and so it will make the car lighter as well
Use Hydrogen gas. Even better
I assume you were pouring the oil like that for the product shot, but for those who don't know, pouring front the side of the container releases the air lock and makes for a smooth pour.
Haha I've never really understood why people care about this. If the oil makes it in the engine, it's all good. That's why I used a funnel. 👍
+Engineering Explained Well, some of us are strange and hate cleaning up engine oil spills, so we employ a technique that... does not spill.
Larry But that's why you have a big ass funnel. And maybe I might like the glug glug glug...
There are people who will complain about the way I put my shoes on. People get quite caught up in pedantry - that's my point here. If you want to pour your oil in your car a different way, go for it. I made no mess. The oil ended up in the car. It's silly to debate this haha.
I shouldn't have said anything.....
You've done a great job and provide a wealth of useful information in your Engineering Explained series Jason. Thank you for your efforts!
I would like to contribute to this informative video with a few small suggestions to add to this episode. The bulk of these suggestions apply to pretty much any car that uses a spin-on/canister style filter, and generally applies to cars (mostly German) that use filter cartridge inserts. There are also a couple S2000 specific points added as well.
The first suggestion is to pre-fill the filter with oil prior to installation. Spin-on filters are equipped with an anti-drain-back valve, which allows you to at least partially fill the filter with oil prior to installing it on the car. On your S2000 (as your video shows) the oil filter is mounted at a 90 degree angle to the block, with the resultant angle being approximately 78 degrees to the vertical (I personally own 2 AP1s). Despite this orientation, you can fill the Honda PCX filter with about 1/3 quart of oil without oil spilling out of the filter during installation. Other cars, like some small block Chevrolet V8s for example, allow you to completely fill the filter prior to installation due to the vertical orientation of the filter. With regard to cartridge insert style filters (such as on my BMW 335D) you can fill the filter reservoir at the time of filter replacement.
The advantages of pre-filling an oil filter are obvious: you prevent momentary oil starvation during the initial engine start-up after changing oil. When the filter is dry, not only does your oil system have to displace the air in the filter with oil - the dry filter media will resist flow more than a wet filter media. In reality the starvation may only about 4-5 seconds when the filter is dry - but over the life of the car, this can add up to significant and avoidable wear.
Given your project car - a Honda S2000, I think it's worth mentioning that it's critical that S2000 owners only use the OEM Honda PCX filters. That filter is specifically designed for the S2000 due to the design of the VTEC system. Most of the design difference is in the bypass valve in the filter - in that the filter is designed to accept and handle significantly higher pressures than a conventional filter. The oil pump in the S2000 is actually capable of supplying lubrication sufficient for a V12 engine. The old school VTEC system in the S2000 is brute force in nature. When the car goes into VTEC, it's not unlike creating a massive oil leak under the valve cover, because there are no seals around the pistons in the primary rockers that lock in the secondary rockers under VTEC. The only way to keep this deliberate leakage from starving other parts of the engine of oil is to have an oil pump capable of flowing a massive volume of oil - under high pressures. You never want to skimp on filters - but that is especially true for the S2000. Honda most certainly didn't, and the PCX-004 filter the only filter specified for the S2000 - and the only car that uses that filter. Every other Honda uses one filter - a single filter for numerous engine types. That tells you something. Last notes: always use a fresh crush-washer. Honda uses aluminum, and some manufacturers use copper alloy - both of which can be recycled. Aftermarket magnetic drain plugs are not only widely available, they are highly advisable and can help prevent engine damage in certain circumstances. There are also powerful magnetic sleeves that attach to spin-on filters, and are designed to help trap ferrous particles in the filter itself. Both items are not too expensive and well worth the investment.
The last suggestion is that I would strongly advise AGAINST using additives like PTFE (and other snake oil products), as they can lead to serious and expensive engine damage. A good quality synthetic oil along with a high quality filter is all you will ever need to put in the crankcase.
Jason - Awesome content as usual. I've had a 2003 S2000 since new. Now with 32K miles. Since I don't trust the dealership to do the service, your videos are fantastic. Please keep the camera rolling when you do other maintenance and improvements on you AP1!
only person that uses a torque wrench to tighten drain plug lmao
Nope!
*****
No, car enthusiasts tend to do something like this in general. Also what is the problem, if you have a torque wrench lying around: why not using it where it is needed and avoid the risk of doing it wrong by simply using the correct tool?
I do. At work and at home. It's so easy to destroy the threads on sumps and they're a nasty job to replace.
Any aircraft mechanic will do the same. Each bolt has its own torque value on an aircraft, that tell you how important it is.
You should do a video on acoustic dynamics and why different engines sound the way they do! That would be super cool. Boxer engines, VR6 engines, V6 vs V8 vs V12, I4 vs I6, rotary, flat vs inline, etc. Explain why displacement changes sounds, as well as exhaust pressure, as well as firing frequency and crank revolutions. It gets in to crazy Fourier Transformations and thousands of factors. I'm finishing my Biochemistry degree, and a musician, but also a devoted car guy for life. You have a great head about you and I would love to see you delve into it. That would be a super cool video
Nicely done Jason! So close to a million subs too so huge congrats on that man!
Thanks Matt!! I'm pumped!!

Did you ever think you could be at a million..? Probably started as fun... And boom! Great job!
Bro he got almost 3million subs xD
CONGRATS on 1 MIL!
picking up an s2000 this week or next, super excited about it.
Congrats on 1 000 000 subs man!
congratulation on 100.000 subscribers!!
keep the s2000 videos coming bro!!! 🍻
1 MILLION SUBSSS CONGRATZ
If you want to make future oil changes easier, you can install a Fumoto quarter turn valve in place of the drain plug. I have a video on it on my channel. I now just attach a tube to the valve and stick the other end in the waste container. It is extra easy on my Outback because the oil filter is on top of the engine.
CONGRATS for 1mil subs!
Great video and congrats on 1million subs
WELL DONE ON 1 MILLION (almost). I've been here since 400k and have loved the videos, although I must admit, I haven't always agreed with certain opinions haha.
One Million! Well done!
Congrats on 1,000,000 nice video
For such a short video, Jason covered so much. A couple points I'd like to add. You said to 'crack' the oil cap to help the draining. Why not take it completely off to allow a greater inflow of air? Secondly, I put a big plastic bag under the drain pan because, as much as I think I have it lined up, the oil often shoots out and misses the pan to some extent. I buy these huge plastic lawn bags from my local True Value which cover so much area under the car. I also use them as drop cloths when painting. Great work, Jason.
Congrats on 1 mill!
hey man i've been watching your videos lately. i did had a question about the engine oil and the mileage on the vehicle. is it recommendable to add a thicker oil to the engine if it has a good amount of miles ?
Hello! I have a 2008 and am really happy about this series. Why did you not use the recommended 5 weight oil? Also, I want to keep my car stock but I Autocross and track it. Because of your performance video, aggressive tires are on my list for spring. I appreciate any info from you regarding improving performance while keeping the car as stock as possible....thanks.
Hi! First of all congrats for the great channel you run, I´ve been whatching your videos for a wile and I´ve learned a lot.
You should make a video about Belleville washer and balde anti roll bar systems used in racecars!
Can you please make a video about about the Pennzoil? Thanks.
Congrats on 1m!
Hi
What oil you recommed for a Honda S2000 w/125k milles?
Thanks
When checking the oil level via the dipstick, is it best to do so when the engine/oil is cool or whilst it's still warm?
Great video
Happy Holidays!
Congrats on 1 million subs!
1 million in few years! 😮 congratulações!
Congratulations on 1M Subs
congrats on 1 million subs!
Penzoil ultra platinum in my opinion, exceeds and out performs other oils I have used.
I use to use just platinum then I switched to ultra platinum and I must say the ultra platinum has a very cool feature in which the oil cools down faster than the others. Also I noticed a more smooth engine noise.
One million subs bro congrats been here since 22k subs been a minute next million should be a breeze u deserve it
Hi, whats the best way to jack up the S2000? any chance of a video?
What is your oppinion on fill up oil filter (with oil) befor installing the new filter. We do this to avoid the dry strat.
Just noticed you hit over 1,000,000 subscribers. Congratulations.
I love it!
Tech Ed videos from someone with an engineering background is sorely lacking.
Text book. Beautiful explanation, proper order of jobs. Espesially the torque wrench part.
It's so important and yet I doubt if mechanics use it on drain plugs.
Also, after changing my oil, I do a second trip of the same length as the "heat up" trip,
so that the new oil gets a good penetration in the whole engine, just to be on the safe side.
Ofcourse if you happen to go on a road trip after changing the oil, that's even better.
Any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.
Can I switch to full synthetic when I've been running synthetic blend on a Honda with 240000 miles
1,000,000 well-deserved subs. Congratulations!
It happened!! :D
Engineering Explained congrats mate
Make sure you get your "Gold button" plaque from YT.
Can you do a video on wether it is good to skip gears going up or down in a car with a manual transmission.
Does 7/8 of a turn on oil filter mean almost a compete 360 of the oil filter or 1/8th of 360?
I was reading the forums and getting confused as people indicated that it was 1/8th of 360degrees.
Been using torque wrench with filter cap.
What about putting a little fresh oil into the new oil filter as well? I heard it helps the oil flow through the filter faster so that the engine isn't dry.
Nice clean and short
Just hit a million and two subs on a video where an engineer changes engine oil. congrats. You could have poured the oil correctly and taught some folks a lesson though.
When i looked at the thumbnail for this video i thought it said $2000 oil change. Lol
Haha these old Honda's are so expensive to maintain!
Can you make a video, with all oil brands? wich is better?... an so on
which is better around a corner drift or grip assuming perfect traction, speed and angle
+Engineering Explained did you just use 5 quart container? Wondering for when I have to purchase oil for my car.
I have a 2017 subaru wrx limited. When will be the perfect time to change my oil, the manufacturer book says every 6k miles? I dont race or abuse it on corners . Current 4,5xx miles. Please help.
idk how to message you except in the comments. I was wondering if you could do a video on aftercoolers for supercharger. I am not aware of a video on this.
Do you always use Pennzoil synthetic or what oil do you use most?
how often shoudl you change your oil and filter?
i use Amsoil 10w 40, is it up there with Pennzoil
Since it calls for 10-30 could one not use 5-30 or 0-30 for better cold start protection while maintaining hot temp protections.
I was wondering, where can you get drain plug washers?
I don't know about ultra premium, but I have had bad luck with Penzoil. Quaker State and Castrol seem to function better over the life of the oil.
Speaking of, could you do a test for the various oil brands?
Is it okay to just put in new oil just like that considering that the oil filter might still have residue of the older oil?
A MILLI A MILLI! CONGRATS! :D
999,961 subscribers !! Good job, so close ;)
Great video! :)
Congrats on ONE MILLION subscribers!!!
THANK YOU!!! :D
Engineering Explained You definitely deserve it! Keep up the great videos!
What's the best oil and I used royal purple last time I changed mine if I change it at 8k miles will my car feel a better when driving with some fresh oil
There is no "Best"
Only things you need to know is
A) is it synthetic
B) is it the correct viscosity
C) is it right spec A3/B3, A3/B4 ect
D) is it safe to use on DPF equipped cars(only applies for diesels)
E) Cost
Royal Purple is really no better than any other oil for your daily drive and you're paying extra for some purple dye added to the oil
Nothing wrong with changing oil a little early, if anything it is slightly better.
Engineering Explained - Please do a video on the best oil filters. Over the years, I've had a few with manufacturer's defects, including one today that had a bad thread and wouldn't screw onto the engine. I've also had a filter that had a bad crimp at the housing case and it spewed oil everywhere when the car was started. Thanks!
300 subs exactly till 1,000,000! Let's go Jason!
So close!!! :D
Totally deserve it!!!
45 to goo
can you do how to change the manual transmission fluid change please??
Virtually everywhere in Indiana has stopped stocking the ultra platinum and only carry platinum. any word from Pennzoil on this and if they are phasing the ultra out of their lineup?
Hmm, I'm not sure. I usually just buy from Amazon, but dunno about where in stores it can be found.
when that vtec kicks in yo!!!
What brand is your drain tub?
Almost 1 million subscribers!
Last thing I do is record date, oil, mileage of vehicle in a log in my garage. Good reference to have. I should mention that on my channel as well. Thx for the vid!
Congrats !! in advance, 386 to go till this moment !!
I always try and put as much oil in the filter before fitting it to prevent running dry for a couple of seconds. That 10w30 is going to be straight out your exhaust😉
So I have been thinking lately when should I check my oil level? For example when I changed my oil on my 99 impreza the dipstick looked like it was on the fullmark. I started it up and let it run for a while. Opened the hood and took another look to the dipstick just to be sure and the oil level was way above the full mark. Next morning as it was cold outside i tried it again and the oil level was at full. warmed the engine up cleaned the dipstick and took another look at the oil level and it was again way over the maximum. So should i check my oil when the engine is warm or when its cold after a night of sitting.
Well when it's cold and sat overnight, you know that it's all drained to the bottom, so that's fine to do.
Engineering Explained Thanks for the reply. Your videos are awesome!
what do you people think about turbo roundabouts?
i just watched a video on how to change oil in a car i don't own. hmmm.
Regardless if you don't own the same vehicle, the same concept applies. You'd be surprised of how many people out there who don't even know the first step to changing their oil, so they waste more money going to a lube shop instead.
especially since you drive a 1998 honda civic LX model with vTEC.
why even bother changing the oil when you can buy exterior accent lights!!
Carl James lame joke was lame
If you move your drip pan before replacing your drain plug it's going to keep dripping on your floor. I'd reinstall the drain bolt in right away so you don't forget. Or get a second pan.
As TH-camr Mod MINI has suggested, if you remove your oil cap and move it to somewhere where you can't miss it, like right next to the hood latch, it will stop you from shutting the hood without remembering to refill the oil. This happens a lot when you've planned to do ten other jobs while you've got the car in the air, but you put off filling the oil in until last.
Same thing with the drain plug: if you leave it lying there, you might forget it. Don't laugh; it happens. Put it on top of your new oil bottle, or in your funnel, so you can't refill the oil without seeing the drain plug.
If you're using a clicker torque wrench, stop after it clicks once. If you keep clicking it, you're adding more torque. Maybe not enough to matter, but if you don't care that much about accuracy, save money and don't buy a torque wrench.
I always put in magnetic drain plugs. The benefit might be infinitesimal but maybe not.
Just did my first change yesterday. Pretty easy, did not set car on fire, A+ will change again in 3,750 miles.
Congrats on 1,000,002 subscribers!
Woooo!!
Love the vids man! Keep it up!
We're supposed to change the oil in our vehicles?!
this video is fake, you just really need to put some fuel.
You're not supposed to change S2000s oil. They burn a quart a month so the oil will always be fresh.
After you've driven and you're putting the car on jackstands, the oil is already cooled right?
Do you plan on lowering the s2k?
It would be interesting to see the engineering advantages of lowering the center of gravity to affect lap times or perceived feel vs. realistic ground clearance. Hellaflush cars corner pretty flat by their crazy cambered out and low nature, but how much lowering can really make a difference to the driver while maintaining practicality?
Happy 1m!!!
Just a suggestion: It's best to turn the bottle of oil to the side or the opposite direction from which you did. This will prevent the fluctuations in flow as air can more easily flow to the rear of the bottle. Using this method and understanding where the oil will hit when coming out helps to reduce any spills.
1 Million sub request: You have to say "Hello (Name here) and welcome!" To every subscriber.
so hard to see the oil on my dipstick. i changed it 50 miles ago but cant tell where the oil is on the gauge. Any tips?
In the rare case if your oil filter is mounted vertically to the engine, you can pre-fill the oil filter with some new oil so that it can circulate the engine faster upon the first start-up.
Can you do a video on "diesel chip tuning units"? How can they say more power, less consumption? I get the more power but not the lower consumption I've also heard that some of these boxes manipulates the cars software and so displaying false fuel consumption figures.
I think it just needs to be known that this won't happen simultaneously. When you floor it, you'll use more fuel, regardless. When you're light on the throttle, it may tweak the A/F ratio for higher efficiency.
question. would it matter if I use 10-30 or 10-40? my car is 154,000 miles
PCX filter! Good man!!
Hey man, great video! Quick question... For those of us that do not have a perfectly flat driveway/garage, how can we make sure the ground our vehicles are standing on (i.e. a gas station's, parking lot, etc.) is level enough to get an accurate reading on the dipstick when checking the oil level?
+luisacosta813 doesn't have to be perfect. Flatish should be good enough, as there's a range on the dipstick you want to be in regardless.
Engineering Explained Got it! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I appreciate it. Keep up the good work man!
Damn almost 1 million subscribers!
I waited for you to say "first, jack up your car" :D
