my dealership charges 75 cents a washer!!!!!!! When i dont have anymore left, i would just flip the washer over and it would work perfectly. But i recently got 18 crush washers off ebay for 2.83

I changed my ES1 oil change about two months ago and I have pictures if you want to use them on this post. PM and Ill get them to you. I took detailed pictures (i.e. filter, crush washer, drain bolt, Mobil 1 Filter and oil, jacks, etc.) I also followed your DIY.

Here's a slideshow of a few pictures I took while changing the oil on my baby. I thought I had way more images but this is all I found in my archives. I hope it helps. Thank you!

I don't see no photo. = (

I use a S2000 oil filter. It's bigger and fits perfect. It has a lot more filter media in it than any stock size filter.

I also happen to have the filter wrench for it since it's the same size as the original size on my '88 CRX.

Whatislove · 06-16-2009, 11:01 AM

how about Royal Purple brand filters? I get a deal with 5 quarts and a filter for $50

Whatislove · 06-16-2009, 11:11 AM

btw, why do you support the 3k mile oil change? if im not mistaken, severe driving dictates every 5k and 7.5k for normal driving...

everyone else I know recommends 5k on any synthetic and oils is good for about 8 months, not 3... but I could be wrong on some of this.

I for one have like 10 free oil changed from Acura (they credit me $100for a ****up) since I only pay them like $10 in labor cause I bring in my own oil and filter.
I might change the oil in my civic myself next time. Although it is a hassle for me.

The seals line up? Anyone else confirm this

satterfi · 06-16-2009, 12:11 PM

The seal is the same size. Honda also uses the same size seal on the bike I have.

You just have to have room for the larger diameter can. Ten years ago all Honda cars were using the larger diameter cans.

I own the legendary em2 and have always wanted to do my own oil changes...thanks.

10,000 oil change? Why does my owners manual use this number?

rothgar1 · 07-06-2009, 11:05 PM

Crush washwers?
Can I get oil plug crush washers at my local NAPA desaler. What to ask for?

Your stealership charges 75C each washer. I got my only 58 cent each at the dealership. Anyone thought about using Home Depot washer?

dr_spock · 07-07-2009, 06:35 PM

I've reused my crush washer in the past. Sometimes I find I have to turn it slightly and retighten to stop the leaking.
