okay so i just got my integra gsr, and im 16 and trying to change the oil, but i let off the break line bleeding nozzle and could i have let air into the breaking system? if so how do i fix that, and on top of that, how do i let the oil drain out of my car, or where is the oil drain valve? thanks!

PS: dont flame this account its my big bro's he'll think im a retard!

 

Here's a link for the oil change:

I'm sure someone may be nice enough to give you information on your brake problems.

 

thx for the help!

i just dont wanna start the car and have no breaks, or cause hundreds in damage for trying to save a few bucks

 

theres a thing called oil drain plug located underneath of ur engine and its attached to ur oil pan.. thats were u drain all ur dirty oil and of course when u change ur oil u have to change the oil filter too located underneath ur intake manifold or behind ur engine.. make sure u jack up ur car while u doin this and put jack stand on both side do it safe and wisely.. btw just to remind u when u replacing ur oil filter just hand tight it, so it wont be pain in the *** next time u take it off... gud luck and play safe..

 

okay oil shouldbe fine thanks guys, but what do i do about the breaks? should i buy more break fluid? confused

 

The things that stop you car are called brakes. What exactly are you trying to do to the brakes? Was there a problem with them when you got the car?

That page has a section on how-to's on brakes. Hopefully you can find what you are looking for there.

 

yes u have to buy more brake fluid not (BREAK) hehe if u think ur brake reservoir doesnt have enuff brake fluid add up some more.. same thing on power steering fluid.. make sure the right oils and fluid goes to the right places..

 

If you only opened one brake line then you really should bleed that one. This is really a 2 person job. One person under the car to open and close the bleed valve and the other to compress and release the pedal. Check with your brother see if he knows how to do it and see if he will help you. If not ask some friends and check back here is you have more questions.

 

if you opened the bleeder valve only and no one touched the brake pedal you should be fine.

however if the fluid is dark and dirty, you may want to do a flush and refill.

in case you just want to bleed that one section, have a buddy help you, its much easier.

first of all make sure you always have plenty of fluid in the Master or youll suck air into the system:
- open the bleeder, connect a fishing oxygen line clear hose to the bleeder.
- have your buddy depress the pedal slowly and hold it to the floor.
- close the bleeder
- have your buddy let go of the pedal.
- repeat the steps until all air bubbles if any are gone.

 

okay im not so sure its the brakes (good spelling), it might be engine coolant...its the valve right in front of the B18c stamp on the front side of my engine, which valve is that?

 

thats the clutch slave cylinder.

do the same thing except with the clutch pedal to bleed it.

 

if i didnt touch the clutch pedal when i opened the valve will it be okay? a lot of fluid came out of it, i think all the fluid came out of it...does autozone sell clutch fluid?

 

actually that team-integra site has an article about bleeding/reflushing the clutch fluid, so i can just use brake fluid right?

it is actually just brake fluid.

if all the fluid came out then yes, you should bleed the system. if some of the fluid came out but there still remains in the reservoir, then just refill it.

Not trying to flame, but it might be best to not touch the car anymore. or atleast untill you get a helms book, or something that will help you with which bolt to undo so you dont run into this again

* very important! *

make sure ALWAYS, when changing oil/filter. That the mating surface is CLEAN, and that the old gasket was thoroughly removed.

Even to the experts and veterans. Ive changed 1,000's of cars oil and this has happend to me before.
