DIY Oil Change

Re: DIY Oil Change
Ron, thanks for the info.
I was looking around on the web for some ramps and these seemed like they may work.
They are the Rhino Ramp 12000. They have a 17 degree incline and the car will be liften by about 6.25". Has anybody used these on the HCHII? These ramps are $45.99 from autozone.com and $26.99 from amazon.com (ships from and sold by AutoZone).

Yes it is practical, Mobil 1 5/203
jack her up in the front on the front crossmember where the arrow is in the center just behind the bumper, (dont forget the jack stands) take out the first 2 screws in the front of the under skirt then the 2 push button retainers and pull it back & it folds back out of the way. I buy the Honda filter (its better) and dont forget a new washer for the drain bolt. She holds about 3 & 1/2 quarts. I do all highway so I am going 10.000 mile changes. Good Luck & enjoy

Re: DIY Oil Change
I found the oil at Walmart for $6/quart.
So now that I have the oil, how do I reset the service minder so that it goes back to 100%. My wrench light just popped at 15% - I have about 8800 miles on the car.

Re: DIY Oil Change
Instructions for resetting the maint light should be in the owner's manual. But most honda's are all the same. Get into the car, press and hold the trip/odo button and at the same time turn the ignition key to "on" position but don't start the car. Keep pressing the trip/odo button for about ten seconds or until the maint/wrench light goes out (resets). That should do it...
good luck,
ralph.
