So I've read through the whole process a couple of times, and what I still need to get is an oil filter wrench, a drain pan, and possible something to get the oil drain plug off. I'd need to purchase a new filter too and ive seen anywhere from 4-6 quarts of oil. Could anyone tell me a rough estimate of these costs? |

QUOTE(red94celicagt @ May 23, 2005 - 10:45 PM) I know it's fun to be able to change your own oil, but why not take it to the shop and have it done for 12 bucks? I know the oil quality isn't as high, but as long as you keep changing it at under 3k miles you're fine [right][snapback]290846[/snapback][/right] Bleh-my baby isnt going anywhere near some jiffy lube place- i like to know whats going on and its more fun to do it yourself. QUOTE(Rjb23 @ May 23, 2005 - 11:27 PM) You dont need an oil filter wrench, just use your hand. It shouldn't be on tight enough to need a wrench, and you shouldn't use the wrench when putting it on. And yes you definatly need a wrench for the drain plug, 14mm. [right][snapback]290870[/snapback][/right] idk- i'd say get a wrench- the ST oil fliter is in kinda hard to reach spot- IMO the wrench makes it easier. -------------------- Buy my Celica $2,500 - http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76562&st=0
