Changing my oil for the first time.

I'm changing my oil on my 2003 Cl-S and I'm having a bitch of a time unscrewing the bolt on the oil pan. Any suggestions? Also what is the size of that bold anyways?

LIquid Wrench. Works wonders.

Let it soak in that for a few minutes.

you'll probably have to hit the wrech a few times as well. make sure to use a new crush washer as well when you reinstall the bolt.

17mm. Standard honda drain plug size. I think I'll do a write up if there isn't one already done the next time I do mine.

Where do you usually have it done? You may want to invest in an Oil Boy. Made changing my oil a breeze.
