Yes I love my Honda Element too. I never had a vehicle that I like as much as this one . It is perfect for me.
By far the best video I’ve ever seen for the do it yourself person for an oil change on any vehicle I’ve owned. Very detailed ( camera work, jack points, safety, location of plug/filter, filter tricks, etc). Well done!👍
Just use an old aluminum cookiie sheet and cut it to fit to keep the oil from the filter draining all over the lower engine area
I like how clean you work!
Great info and easy to follow instructions...thanks
Thanks for useful vid. Was able to get best hand-torque on the oil filter by lying under the car and reaching up and around with both hands. Over the top was definitely a no-go! Would complete video if you added how to reset the "Maintenance Required" warning light.
I've done it both ways on my 2004 and 2008 Elements. It depends on how tight the filter is installed, personal flexibility and arm length whether it can be changed from the top.
The last time I did it I had to remove a Fram Ultra synthetic filter with coated end. I could not get an end cap wrench to fit, and needed to get both hands on it from below to get it loose. I had to use a high lift (21"") front floor jack, then side stands to get into the right position. The delay let most of the top oil drain out and I got the filter off without dripping.
Brake parts cleaner also works. Just spray that around the oiled up area to clean it up.
Great video. Coool mellow tone, man.
thanks for sharing
really good guide. one suggestion to reduce the filter oil mess is to use a mini sandwich bag once the filter is loose so as you're turning it the oil will drain into the bag and not everywhere else. also @7:55 you freaked me out when you were spraying your engine bay with your oil cap open lol
smdanny1 , great idea!
I wrap a piece of junk cotton toweling around the open end of the filter as I twist it off. Also, letting the engine drip clear if internal oil before removing the filter it makes it a less stressful operation.
I winced too when he was cleaning up with the oil and dipstick removed.
Could you add the resetting procedure for the maintenance due reminder light. Thanks, good video!
The way you keep you car under makes it look brand new
Use a bent piece of cardboard to channel the oil when futzing with the filter.
I've never needed any kind of deflector in 16 years of oil changes on my Elements, because I do them all with the engine warm and I take my time. I allow oil to drain until it stops dripping before loosening the filter (at least 15 minutes with 5W-20 synthetic oil, longer with conventional. )
If you jack up the front end far enough (+19"), remove the drain plug, dipstick and filler cap first, and allow at least 10 minutes for the air to seep past the seal of the very slightly loosened filter most of the oil will flow out of the filter and through the engine to the sump. From below you can orient the filter open side up as soon as it's off the threaded stub. The little bit (tsp) of oil that then runs down the back of the engine is diverted by a channel off the lower suspension or you can absorb it into a waste cotton towel. Honda sells a fancy metal deflector for professional mechanics who need to do changes quickly to maximize income.
Got a link for the "aftermarket" oil catcher?
I couldn't find one on Amzn, but HandA has one: www.handa-accessories.com/elementmaint.html
Looks like its called an "Oil Deflector" and this one is OEM. I bet it would be pretty easy to make one with some sheet or rolled aluminum or steel & some snips & magnet. Or maybe a plastic 2L bottle could be cut up to fit?
@@grokshop It's a waste of miney. Te Element's suspension already ha a defe;ctor welded into its suspension, an improvement over the CR-V which the Honda deflector was designed for. The place that really needs to be sheltered from oil spillage is higher - above the cat converter. If you rush the job and splash oil onto it you can start a smoky fire.
The oil filter is so badly located. I've been doing my oil change for 15 years on my cars and my gf's, and won't do it on my E anymore. So frustrating.
same with my 4cyl gen 1 tacoma. so damn annoying
I agree -- on the Honda R18, for example, the oil filter is basically right behind the front bumper cover. You just reach under and take it off. This is the easiest oil filter I've ever had. If you use a Top Sider to suck the oil out of the dipstick tube, you don't even need to jack the car up for anything.
I'm trying to figure out a good way to get to the K24 filter, after doing my first oil change on my Element. What a pain in the ass.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 It always makes a mess regardless of how you do it. I did my last one myself because my mechanic had no availability for three weeks and I had to leave within a day. I'm a very small build, 140lbs, so I just climbed on top of the engine bay and unscrewed it from there. Makes a mess for sure, but I had the cardboard from a tv under the car to catch any oil and pulled it out from the top. It's the worst thing about this car's design, after the rear trailing arm mounting points.
ninja that bad boy up in there lol im using that now my dude
Totally... u can use that; no extra charge!
Drain bolt torque spec: 33 lbf-ft (44 N-m)
illiniwood , install a Fumoto drain valve and forget about torque specs.
@@howtodoitdude1662 Get a Top Sider fluid extractor and forget all about torque specs AND getting under the car. My knees can't take that anymore.
I'm 75 years old and I get the oil filter from "above". Laying across the engine. Feet dangling.
😂😂😂
What, you become a mechanic yesterday? Jack and stands ain't got a scratch!!
You caught me. I'm actually not a mechanic, I just play one on TH-cam! :P Seriously though, I do have 2 sets of stands; one is a bit smaller & about 20 years old, the others are newer & were gifted to me about 10 years ago. A little rust on the old ones, but not too bad.
WAIT A SECOND ! ! ! ! ! You never reset the Milage Minder on the dash to reset your oil light ! ! ! ! ! !
Your undercarriage is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry 😍
That’s what I told my wife on our first date
@@dustyoldhat lol no wonder she married you
You don't say the size of the wrench
17mm
Manual says 4.4 quarts.
please dont ever use a fram filter again its literally news paper on the inside they dont filter at all!
Modern ones aren’t
That’s like old school urban legend stuff
I’ve had two suspected engine failures from using Fram oil filters and now I use a Honda filter from the Dealer.
It's too bad this owner did not read the Owners Manual and locate the PROPER jacking point, which is prominently marked on center of the front cross member. If you have a standard light floor jack, you can below the filter get both hands on it and immediately after getting it off pivo it fill end up so no oil drops. I switched to Frams better line to get the grippy surface throat doesn't need a wrench. It seems strange to worry about scratching the paint on the side jack points when tire tire shown is nearly devoid of tread.
Tread really isn't needed in some areas. I once put 175,000 miles on a car with nothing but the cheapest used tires, the entire time. Some of them I wore down until they went flat. There's not just one universal car and one universal road and one universal driver, and one universal scenario. Your rules don't actually mean shit.
The extremely loud music sucks.
The filter on these cars is inaccurate and not accessible
