Hey I'm new to the forum as well as Honda. I drive a 2006 SI that is stock. Don't really have any plans for it either since it is my daily. Maybe some suspension and wheels in the future. Hope to learn a few things from the forum. Especially some tips on the oil change. Worst oil filter placement ever.

 

Welcome!! clean si! my favorite color also...
But there is a lot of information on this forum. A lot of people with knowledge, use it to your advantage.
Good luck to you.

 

Yes thee worst oil filter location ever lol. Love the blue. Nice car

 

welcome come... Nice ride keep it clean!!!

 

1 pic...???...Really???

 

Dude, it's a stock SI. What do you expect? Not a whole lot to show off.

 

Welcome. Yup, oil filter location on the K-Series is a pain. Just take it to the dealership service department. By the time you buy the oil, the filter, and the crush washer, ...you're just a few more dollars away from just having most dealerships do it for you.

 

haha I agree on the worst oil filter location part haha

 

You get used to the location after a while. It's easiest to work on when you remove the passenger side wheel. I usually rotate the tires at the same time, so my wheels are already off of the front. Then, I reach in there and put a plastic bag (or double it up) around the filter and try to work off the filter while keeping the bag in place. I usually still make a mess, but have gotten better at it. I've also read about people using the top half of a milk gallon to catch the extra oil run-off, as well.

I just wouldn't want to pay someone to do the job and I like putting in whatever kind of oil/filter I want to.

 

whats the mileage and has it gotten its scheduled maintenances?

 

Always had scheduled maintenance. I rolled over 51k last week. Had 48 and change when I bought it.
