Has anyone changed there oil and oil filter on there 09 accord sedan yet?? wat oil did u use and wat filter??

Matt55

are you asking to find opinions, or what oem stuff is suppose to go in there

sup_g

both. i wanna kno if its hella hard to diy..

Matt55

ive never done it on an 09 accord but on the oil cap it shld say what kind of oil it takes, and if you go to any autoparts store they will tell you what filter belongs to the motor. To change oil it shldnt be any harder than any other car, do you know how or wld you like a DIY?

Some of the information is located in your owner's manual.

The recommended oil viscosity is 5W-20 for both 4 cylinder and V6. You can use different brands of oil and filter; but, I personally use the OEM Honda oil filters and Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil. Get a new crush washer for the oil drain plug. You may want to buy an oil cap wrench or other type of filter wrench to help remove the oil filter. Reset the engine oil life indicator after the oil change.

If you don't feel comfortable doing your own oil change, you can look for an on-line Honda oil change discount coupon and just go to the dealer, many have the Honda Express Service.

wat do mean crush washer?? sorry im a newbie

dleccord

its a washer made from brass (i believe) that is suppose to mold as you tighten the drain bolt onto your oil pan to prevent leaks and you cannot use this washer, i mean you can but its best to use a new time every oil change.

honda's don't use brass crush washers. from what iv seen thats nissans who use brass washers. honda's use aluminum ones.

oil changes on 09 accords are cake walk. everything is easy to get to.

For 2010 a lot of Hondas are going to 0W-20 oil. Most of those have K engines, so you can start using that if you want. Honda is probably going to come down and change the oil requirements for all of those like they did in 06(ish) for the cars that were using 5W-30 and now require 5W-20

dleccord

so i can start using 0w-20 is there a benefit for california weather switching to 0w oil?

Slightly better fuel economy. Otherwise not much

i had 4 09 accords in today for work and 1 of them was an oil change took 5 minutes everythings easy to get to.

to clairfy nissan crush washers are copper

honda crush washers are aluminum

the filter is a regular honda filter that everything else uses and the oil is 5w-20

if you didn't know honda moved the location of the oil filter on the K's to the bottom by the oil drain plug on the back of teh block no more reaching beside the exhaust easiet car honda has to change the oil enjoy OP they are good cars

sup_g

where can you get 0w-20 oil?? is that suppose to be fully syntetic oil or sumtin?? how much is it at the dealers to change it for u?? so everything in changing the oil is hella simple.. u dont have to cramp into hella tight spots no more huh

Depends on the engines, the filter placement on K engines is horrendous, as for 0-20, mobil 1 makes it, you can buy it at Walmart, hell, why you are there just get them to do it, synthetic oil changes are $55

Filter placement on the new K engines is great so much nicer and easier to get to as i stated in my post above no one bothered to read.

nah man the 8th gen base civics are the easiest for oil filters (R series engines), it's right next to the drain plug! lol

Here is a oil change video DIYthat I put together. The same principals apply to any oil change, but the video shows a 3.5L V-6.

Enjoy

I love people that make nice DIY vids.. Even though i've been changing my oil for years, it still helps others.
Thanks

Thanks for that YouTube Vid Hittman!! I had changed the oil on my '09 Accord, (which was HELLA easy by the way even easier than my '95 Integra) but I noticed that the oil life didn't reset and I had no idea how to do the reset. Well, this Vid answered my problem right away!

I just signed up for this site and it rocks b/c I found my answer in less than 5 minutes!!

USE ONLY OEM FILTER...
Use Mobil ONe HONDA "OEM" oil. 5w-20

I pursonally wouldnt use 0w-20 oil but thats up to u. Honda only uses 0w-20 on there hybrid vehicles due to engine cleanances. Use the RECOMMENDED oil grade.

Im a technician at honda, fyi,just so u dont think im some ahole giving a no experience opinion.

<--OEM Honda filter and Mobil 1 5W-20 Synthetic here

Used to be an Express Tech at Honda so the oil change only took me 5 minutes in my garage

Here is a article about oil filters and their internal makeup.

http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfi...lterstudy.html

It's pretty interesting. After reading this article I started using Puralator Pure One filters. They are about half the cost of a mobil one filter and seems they are just as good. I always use Mobil 1 Synthetic 5qt. bottle from Wolly World for about 22 bucks. Can't beat it. Good luck.
