Re: oil change (flashmang)
remove oil filler cap
jack it up from the front
remove oil pan drain bolt
remove oil filter
replace oil filter with new honda filter
replace oil drain pan washer (with new honda washer) and bolt
fill oil, probably 4.5 quarts for your SI
lower car on level ground
put oil filler cap on again
check oil level
run motor for two minutes
check oil level
you want to use a good oil too. i reccommend mobil or mobil 1

Re: oil change (typeS)
^^^I might add. Check the old oil filter for the o-ring. Sometimes that get stuck on the engine. Also, lube the o-ring on the new filter with some new oil.

Yes, our cars are too low to be messing around without stands!
You can buy the Honda filter from the dealership and it comes with the new crush washer, just in case you were wondering. I'm lazy (and without my own garage while in the apt) so I just buy the filters from the dealership 3 or 4 at a time and have the oil changed at a quick-change place.
