Nothing really new about the turbo build today, it’s been pretty quiet lately so I decided to do my oil change today. I went to Canadian Tire and picked up some Penzoil Full Synthetic and an oil filter and since I knew I was going to get a bit dirty anyways I also picked up some regular oil and oil filter for my moms van too. Both the oil changes went pretty smoothly except the oil filter on my moms van was a bit hard to take off so I had to find an oil filter wrench and use that. Once I used the wrench the rest of the oil change was a no brainer.
I’m at 219,500km on my Honda Civic so at about 225,000km will be my next scheduled oil change. I was down about 1 liter from my last oil change but that’s expected with such a high revving engine.

I had to change my oil the other day, and couldn’t get the filter off either. A mechanic friend told me a while back that the quickest way to get it off if you don’t have the wrench is to simply stab the side of the filter with a screwdriver. It can get a little messy, but the screwdriver will add that extra needed leverage to break it loose. Awesome huh?
I miss my Honda!! I loved that car!!:-)
