![]() ![]() OK if I’m gonna be under a car like I will be for an oil change, I like to put the jack back under the car for added safety and I just want to firm it up against the frame I don’t want to take any weight off the jack stands. So now of course, it’s just rinse and repeat for the other side. Now just ease ‘er down on that first jack stand. You could use something else besides cardboard just something to protect the paint. I always place the jack stands underneath the standard pinch weld jack points and I like to put a little cardboard underneath to protect the paint on the van to avert rusting down the road. Now we just jack it until we have the clearance we want plus a few inches to get the jack stands under and set it back down on the jack stands. So this is where I use my smaller jack to just raise the van up a few inches to buy me that space so I can access the area I want to get to. I like to place my jack on this flat section of the frame on each side of the van but with my larger jack it’s a little tough accessing that area. ![]() OK now we can go ahead and start jacking up the van. OK next we can remove the oil fill cap and double check that we got the right kind of oil. OK next we want to remove the dipstick and clean it off and set it aside. In here you can see the location of the oil fill cap and dipstick. OK with the engine warmed all the way up we can turn it off. So if it’s not already, start it up and bring it up to normal operating temperature. OK next we want to have the van warmed up. OK, we’ll start out by applying the parking brake. Here you can see a little bit of the differences between the oil change information that they have in the owner’s guide and the Owner’s Manual. And by the way, if you don’t have a paper Owner’s Manual, get one, because it actually has more information than the Owner’s Guide in some cases. If you haven’t already, I recommend you become intimately familiar with your Owner’s Guide (the PDF version of the Owner’s Manual) and the paper Owner’s Manual. Be sure to check in the description below or appropriate cart where I’ll have a link to the Amazon Grok Shop where you can find links to anything you might be missing to finish the project. And you don’t necessarily need two hydraulic jacks but it can be helpful in order to get the bigger jack further up under the car. In fact I didn’t really need an oil filter wrench but you might, so I recommend: have one handy. So here I’m showing a super-set of the parts and tools you may need for this job. Some of these other items I’ll be covering in separate videos but of course for today I’m just showing the oil and filter change. “B13” just means I do all this stuff listed under “B” and then I also do “1” which is rotate tires, and “3” which is replace transmission fluid.

In this video I’ll be doing an oil change on a 2016 Honda Odyssey.
