Re: How to do an oil change
Probably has been asked or mentioned before, but what the heck. After an oil change, I have done 2 so far and both times (especially the first service change) it seemd that shifting gears became easier, and engine ran smoother. Is this true or am I imagining it?

Re: How to do an oil change
I searched through the many oil changing threads to find one with pictures (I've never changed the oil before). I was really excited about finding this one because it's supposed to have pictures but they're not there. Everyone in this thread rants and raves about how good it is with the pictures, but I can't see them lol!!! Did they get deleted or is it just me? I'm just looking for something as thorough as possible and everyone says this is the thread to read.
Thanks guys!  -Taso |

Re: How to do an oil change
GREAT write up. I used it today to do my first oil change on the Fizzer. Well, not it's first oil change... just the first one I've done. The write up makes extremely easy.
It's the little things that help. The foil trick was great. I even put some in "front" also to help guide the oil into the drain pan. I like that you metioned the 17mm socket... I didn't have to try the 16 and 18 before getting it right. Thanks! I used channel locks to get the filter off. Very easy and I didn't have to buy a special filter wrench. Thanks a million!
