Changing The Oil And Filter - Honda 2006 Accord Sedan Owner's Manual

Changing the Oil and Filter

Always change the oil and filter
according to the maintenance
minder (see page 193 ). The oil and
filter collect contaminants that can
damage your engine if they are not
removed regularly.
Changing the oil and filter requires
special tools and access from
underneath the vehicle. The vehicle
should be raised on a service station-
type hydraulic lift for this service.
Unless you have the knowledge and
proper equipment, you should have
this maintenance done by a skilled
mechanic.
1. Run the engine until it reaches
normal operating temperature,
then shut it off.

3. Remove the oil filter and let the
remaining oil drain. A special
wrench (available from your
dealer) is required.
4. Check the oil filter to make sure
its gasket did not stick to the
engine block. A stuck gasket could
cause an oil leak.
