Honda S2000 Oil Change Tutorial - YouTube

Okay so this is what you need to do an oil change on a Honda s2000

main thing is that oil, I've got 5w40

Castrol Edge with the red-top don't buy the turbo diesel

I've got 2 of those because you will need more than one

and you can use the rest to top up, if you need to

I've got obviously 2 axle stands

just gonna try and use the standard jack the

trolley jack that I've got is just to high and it won't fit underneath

got the drainer which is a six litre (capacity)

so that's more than enough, I have a Hamp

oil filter which is pretty much a

the same as the, I think it's exactly the same as the recommended latest

Honda one, I've got the new, the genuine Honda

oil filter removal tool and

I've got a 17mm socket on the ratchet, I believe it's 17mm

but I'll find out in a bit and then I've got the new sump

plug which I upgraded to a magnetic one with obviously a new washer

as well. So first thing is to jack up the car.

Just so that everyone knows you can't get

one of these Halfords big red jacks underneath the car

if you're using the standard Honda jack that comes with the car

because that's how high it goes and there's the jack

so it's just a few mm out

but you can't go any higher with that so you do need

to use a different jack.

Okay so due to the sump plug being on so tight

I've had to bring it to a garage, luckily

I have access to a garage so we're going to try it on the ramps here

today the car is currently on

73,901 miles

and it's Saturday the 26th of April

so we've still got the same oil, all the other parts are still the same

let's get the sump plug off

right so we're gonna give it a go with one of these hench

Snap-On spanners

so just seeing if I can crack the bolt

and there it is

right so the oil caps off from the top the engine, now we just need to get the

oil out, hopefully I won't spill too much

so we let that drain out

as you might be able to see this washer on this one

is long gone, it's completely mashed

onto the sump plug, so luckily I do have a new one

to put on this time, otherwise you might risk

losing oil

right so basically this filter on here

this new filter is a lot smaller and the

the genuine Honda oil filter cap

doesn't fit over what's on there at the minute, so I don't know if it's going to

be

a different size or if the thread is actually going to end up working and it will go on

okay so as you can see I pulled off this Unipart oil filter

and it is a lot bigger

than the Hamp one

as you can see, but the

the sills do match up so we're just gonna go ahead and fit it

and it should be all okay

okay so now we fit the oil filter

get a bit of oil

fresh oil around the sill

and we'll fit it on hand tight

it's in a slightly more difficult position than the

old Civic Type R that I used to have but luckily

on the ramps it's an easy job

okay so I've got a fresh sump plug here, it's a magnetic sump

plug, with a fresh washer

now that the oils only dripping very slowly

I left it for about 20 minutes

we're just going to install the

new sump plug, and get the oil in

the oil filter is already installed

right so let's fill her back up

so when you've put in about 4 litres it's a good time to check the dipstick

and

that looks just on the high level

remember to put the oil cap back on

and now run it for a few minutes

so after a minute or so of idling

I did top up another half a litre

just to make sure it is full

gonna run it for another minute or so and then

I will test the dipstick again
