i just did my Oil Change since i baught this motor and swapped it in from Hmotors. Motor is a JDM B18B LS engine . I first got the Motor and changed oil filters Fram, and put in oil 10w30 valvoline. So now its been like 2,000 miles time for tune up and oil change.. so when im done with tune up and get to removing my oil filter, i always expect oil to leak out but this time it didnt happen. WTF?! so i remove the oil filter and look inside, there is SOME oil but it might of just been the oil i put in there the first time i put the oil filter on (because i always pour some oil into filter whenever i do oil change ) .. Hmmm why is this?? im running : (so i replaced the oil flter with an OEM honda one. Ok so i change oils for like 6-8 months at BIG o tires everyday.. ONLY way to remove oil filter and not get oil to drip is to poke a hole in it and then drain the oil and whalah no oil comes outta oil filter, But on my Oil change i Opened the oil cap (which was really tight) , Then i opened the Oil filter and NO oil came out?? then i drained my oil.. hmmm is this normal on a Turbo Engine? motor has only seen less then 2,000 Miles since turbocharged

Engine:
• JDM B18B from HMotors: ( very reputable shop )
compression 200+ across the board. less then 25k miles. came from JAPAN so less then 25k miles and it came from automatic so it wasnt beat up ( it had an automatic flywheel ). and also thats why my dyno #'s turned out to be so good.

How long did the car sit before you changed the oil? I have changed my oil a couple of times on my B18A1 and if I tend to let the car sit for an extended ammount of time(1 hour +) before change'n the oil there tends to be almost no oil come'n out of the filter.

Exactly what I was going to say. Now if you pulled the filter immediately after having the car on and no oil came out, then that could be a problem haha.

EDIT: Oh, it sat overnight? I wouldn't be worried at all.

x2 , should be cool!

 

yeah ic.. hmmm strange though never happened to me in 3 years.. and ive always done MY oil changes mostly in the mornings after i wake up. thanks 4 da info though guys. i have this paranoia that i always will be low on oil pressure.. lol ever since my b20 motor went bye bye on me

 

Oil pressure guage? I too rarely have had it happen, but it has happened to me before, wish it would do it every time. Though, if your filter wasn't getting oil, i don't think you would make it anywhere near 2000 miles

 

damn cuh, you always ger paranoid. take a pill.. and sleep tonight.. it be a good night, since is ******* raining =]

 

Start up the car and let it run for a while, then shut it off and pull the oil filter. If no oil comes out then there is a problem.

umm..drain the oil first and pull oil filter out. unless your body need some oil.

 

Why drain the oil? He just changed it.

 

At work while doing services on many different Honda models I have had this happen. I wouldnt be too concerned about it. As long as you had oil in the motor, which you said you did.

 

I suggest you do your oil changes HOT, that way it will get more of the grime out.

exactly, and the oil runs out alot easier. I always change mine right after driving the car (and I have a burn scar from my catalytic convertor on my arm to prove it ).

Don't worry about it.
