After an oil change of course! Mobil1 5W-30 + Wix filter + oil extractor = happiness. Quick 15:15 minutes (I used a stopwatch

how much easier could it get to change your oil with this thing...
question, is there really any advantage to using this pump over draining the fluid out like normal?

Either way, I still do it the old fashioned way.
As for the filter change, I always use a plastic bag to cover the filter before turning it loose. It catches all the oil pouring out of the filter. Just make sure you don't pull a dumbass move like me and forget to check for holes in the bag.

On a side note, I think the GM K-series trucks are the worst to do a filter change on. The damn filter is like built into the oil pan, and there's like maybe an inch of space between them. The first time I did an oil change on my dad's car, I backed it straight out of the garage, blocking the driveway perpendicularly... When I realized that I couldn't get a good grip on the filter, I also realized that both of my cars were blocked in and I couldn't go to the store to buy a filter wrench. So after cussing up a storm, I drove a nail into the filter and turned it little by little. Oil was dripping everywhere all over me, and it took like 10 turns to get it off. Ahhhhhh!! I hate GM.

because it pulls the oil thru a straw.
so it takes a little while.
and it doesn't pull the oil out of the filter.
but it is much cleaner.
i take the whole canister to pep boys to get recycyled.
and you can walk away while it sucks out the oil.
and u don't have take out the oil drain bolt.

except for the oil filter, it sucks the motor dry.
it also worked very well on my tranny oil change.

Im getting the Tempo Oil Extractor (Oil Boy), but I remember reading that you needed longer hose to reach the bottom of the engine...does it come with it? Or do you need to buy any more additional hoses. Thanks

Do you need a special wrench to get the oil filter out? I never done this in my life so i dont know much about chanching oil. I read that never screw the filter too tight...is that true? Basically, can anyone give me a quick instruction on replacing the filter....I have a WIX filter ready to be installed!

Also, put a film of oil on the filter's rubber gasket.

you can buy genuine honda oil/filters and not have to pay for "honda" labor. heck, there are better things out there than just "genuine" oem honda parts.

Go synthetic, a true synthetic works best.
