[QUOTE="yellowrubiu, post: 11669178, member: 111275"] It is pretty straight forward. Ideally you want to do it on a lift or with the car level on jack stands. As you may have noticed on this thread some of us with ramps have had mixed results with being able to get all the fluid in due to the angle on the ramps - see my post above. [LIST] [*]Drive the car around for 5 minutes to warm things up and make it easier for the oil to drain. [*]Make sure you can loosen the fill plug before draining it. You'll need an 8mm hex wrench for the fill and drain plugs. [*]You will not be able to use a torque wrench to torque the fill plug back to spec (35 Nm) because of the limited space so take note of the marking on the fill plug and simply tighten it back to the same position after getting the new fluid in. [*]Open the drain plug and let it drain until oil stops dripping - some people like to save the factory oil in case they need to bring it back to the dealer for warranty work. [*]Install the drain plug back and torque it to 35 Nm. [*]You can use a pump like the one below from your local auto parts store or Wally World or the type that screws onto the quarts to pump 2.7 quarts of the fluid back in. Be sure to compensate for anything that the pump may not suck out from the quarts or whatever remains in the suction tubes so you don't put in less than the 2.7 quarts back in. [*]Screw the fill plug back on and go for a test drive. [*]Take another peak under the car to make sure nothing is dripping and you're done.
