I resorted to the manual and the search a long time ago. I don't have an owner's manual because I'm the 3rd owner and the previous owner didn't have one because he had lost it. The search gave out no feedback regarding my question either.

umm, youre kidding right, the 1st time, the only hard thing is finding the stuff...... after that its all simple hand tools...... all you do is wrench the bolt off like any other... keep in mind NOT to keep your head under or even near the oil........ same with the filter, grab a filter wrench, pop it off, and the rest is just twisting off, again keep your head away....... when putting it all back in, just torque down the bolt, and the filter should really only be hand tightened, a tool will overtorque it way too easy........ thing is you wanna do it after running the engine to operating temps, that way the oil is more liquidy and runny and will come out better..... but that means working on a hot oil pan, and hot exhaust manifolds........ and surprisingly my halfshaft was a bit on the hot side too
and NO, its not too hard with a simple ratchet and hand, granted itll take some effort if youre lying on the floor under a jacked car....... but nowhere near impossible

Yes, the dots are MIN and MAX, the difference between the points is 1 quart or 1 litre... about the same
fill to somewhere in between....... but a bit over is fine too, im running a bit over because my Motul 300V was only sold in 2 Litre cans.... and I had to guestimate and went a little over

Again, 4.6 to be exact.
As for the filter, get a hammer and a screw driver. Hit the screw driver into the filter to make it a handle (hit it all the way through along the side). Simply turn it to take it off.
The bolt should come off with some muscle into it. Go work out. (use leverage)

I should try that out next time, just for you Chris........ but one has to remember to aim higher on the filter body or else youll end up hitting the threaded shaft thats on the block

lol....... my little F22s last change cost me 100 bucks, thats oil and a $7 Honda filter. I had to buy 6 litres, since they were only sold by 2 litre cans
but I must say this oil is worth every penny

I usually go with a full Mobil 1 oil change, MOBIL 1 10W-30 High mileage synthetic and a Mobil 1 oil filter, 20 bucks on oil at walmart, and 10 on filter at Autozone..... this time I had a recommendatio from my trusted mechanic to go with Motul.... so I went out for regular 8100 5W-30 Eco-nergy synthetic......... at 10 bucks..... a litre......... then I decided... screw it, ill try the full out 300V 5W30 racing oil, 3 2 litre metal cans, at 30 bucks a piece totaling 15 bucks a litre........ but its definately orth it,i noticed better pull at the higher RPMs, and ive shaved .2 seconds from my 0-60, while only averaging .1 seconds on the total 1/4 mile..... more power at the top ogf my gears at 30 and 60 (Stupid automatic)......... anyways, mechanic man said that hes taken apart engine that ran Motul, and says theyre in great condition inside and out, and he specializes in performance and racing motors

RP isnt bad atr all I liked it, then I went for Amsoil, loved that even more, but went back to Mobil 1 right afterwards, out of cost consideration....... but after running my Motul. which in all honesty doesnt cost all that more than Amsoil. I think ill stick to it for the life of the poor dying CL

syntec isnt bad........ but not my 1st choice...... for the price Id go with Mobil 1 or Valvoline, used all 3 and these 2 are my winners in this price group...... I wanted to try Quakerstate... then I decided to splurge..... my ass off, and im real glad I did
