Well After that illustration which shows that Quaker State has no idea at all what the internals of an automobile engine looks like, I don't expect I will want to be buying their products. C'mon.... That is the best animation Quaker State can afford to make??? Really?

I didn't know dead engines went to heaven. I thought they just got recycled or something.

* Before you read this, I just wanted to tell you that I am only kidding about everything I type below lol... I probably ruined it by initially saying this, but I wanted to tell you in case someone reads this who gets pissed off and doesn't read the entire comment lol. I was thinking about just leaving what I wrote below without the explanation LMAO ;) What do you mean recycle your oil? You mean I can recycle my oil? Oh Jesus, I've been dumping my oil in the woods just behind my back yard for the past 15 years! I guess that's not a wise thing to do huh? The other thing... You said the Corvette would crush you if it fell on you... I thought I always heard people saying the Corvette is lightweight? I mean the body is fiberglass and the FRC is even lighter than the Targa. That doesn't make sense that it would crush you. I'm sure it would hurt, but crush you? I don't know about that. I'll be the first to admit that I am not a very smart person, but at least I can admit it. So keep that in mind when you read my comment. Beyond being able to read, write and type thankfully, I wasn't born with the gift of intelligence. My IQ was tested at 80. I was kindly told by my doctor to never take illegal drugs because my IQ would drop to the level of mental retardation, and then I'd have some real problems. It's not my fault at least. I was born that way :( All kidding aside, I really appreciate you making this video. I just wanted to give you a quick laugh ;-) A buddy of mine recently bought a 2004 Corvette, and he'll be very thankful to see this. I'm emailing it to him after this crazy comment lol. Thanks again. -Chris Oh, I almost forgot... I will subscribe after this comment.

nice video, just changed the oil myself on my 00 c5 for the first time last month. Every other time I took it to a place but I don't think they let all the oil drain

ManzellaBob commented on 30 Apr 2013

I would advise that you use a bigger collection pan, a socket and ratchet and a funnel. I've been using the hockey pucks for years.

FORTY SAGINAW commented on 26 Jun 2013

I think you are retarded there, I said I change My oil filter every time, and have done so for 25 years....Next time look at what

FORTY SAGINAW commented on 25 Jun 2013

Sure do, no problem I am a moron and will spend all the dough I have to change that filter each and every time, now go away

Teknicktion commented on 22 May 2013

You say your particular about your car but your coolant expansion tank looks like it is leaking at the seam.

04YJGTO commented on 26 Jun 2013

Me go away? You're the one who replied to my post. Have fun when your filter clogs and you toast a motor.

rottenrowdie commented on 24 Mar 2015

Good attention to safety. That car falls on you its lights out. No clearance underneath.

Thanks for your kind complements! And for the 14 year old Youtube trolls... get a life lol

Really? Its like changing every other cars oil.

does it matter if you use a shorter flatter subaru oem oil filter vs a taller narrower subaru oem oil filter?

Austin L (Austin's Adventures) commented on 28 Oct 2015

+SubiSpeed awesome just making sure! thanks for the quick response

SubiSpeed commented on 28 Oct 2015

+Austin L (Austin's Adventures) It does not. Some dealers only stock on filter to do changes. There is no internal difference between the two.

Mitch Brenner commented on 19 Oct 2015

OK - insanely stupid question - how in the hell do you measure out .4 of a quart? Sorry, I know it's a stupid thing to ask, but about to attempt my first self-done oil change on my subby...

SubiSpeed commented on 22 Oct 2015

+Mitch Brenner We just do .5 and call it good. A Little extra isn't a bad thing. :)

BDJTube commented on 08 Aug 2015

Is it the same with the sti?

SubiSpeed commented on 10 Aug 2015

+BDJTube Same process but the STI will have different locations for the oil filter.

Valery Vodonos commented on 30 Jun 2015

Thank you for the step-by-step. How come you don't pre-fill the filter first?

KALI1080 commented on 31 Aug 2015

+Valery Vodonos I usually fill my oil filters when I do an oil change. I don't know if it actually makes much of a difference if it is filled or not though. However, when I am at work changing fuel filters on big diesel engines I never fill the filter first. If you will the filter first, you get un-filtered fuel going through the injectors. I can go into how bad that is but then we would have a wall of text. I would think that the same thing could happen with the engine oil too but it would be much less likely to the point where it probably does not matter if you fill the filter or not.

Valery Vodonos commented on 15 Aug 2015

There are many opinions on this. Some say dry can cause a snall air pocket, others say that oil is still covering engine parts even after you drain most of it. Go with what you are comfortable with just as long as you don't ignore oil changes.

steevieg commented on 14 Aug 2015

+Valery Vodonos I've just never heard of anyone actually filling the filter. There shouldn't be any need to, as the oil filter is used to... well... filter the oil. It shouldn't matter if it's dry or not. Oil will still flow through it just the same so long as you have enough oil in your oil pan..

Valery Vodonos commented on 14 Aug 2015

+steevieg I have done it to every car I've owned in order to prevent dry starts. Unless you overfill the filter, you should be ok for quickly flipping it over. Only at 700 miles but will let you know at first oil change.

steevieg commented on 11 Jul 2015

+Valery Vodonos I have never done this for any car. Especially since the filter on this car is facing downward, it would just go down to the oil pan and out with your old oil I think. I'm no expert though.

Mouse Click commented on 09 Jun 2015

that lever looking drain plug is so sick. i am scared it will go down and drain all my oil by accident and seize my engine.

LastHumansGarage commented on 16 Jun 2015

+SubiSpeed and it has a 2nd gen safety clip as an alternate backup.

SubiSpeed commented on 09 Jun 2015

+Mouse Click The Fumoto Oil Drain Valve has a locking mechanism that prevents that from happening.

how often do u reolace the spark plugs on a 4-tec 215 sea doo pwc engine

KK40384 commented on 11 Aug 2015

+Victor Ceren try eBay. They sell individual filters. Pretty affordable too depending on your location.

Victor Ceren commented on 10 Aug 2015

I can't file the oil filter I only found the kit that come with the oil filter

KK40384 commented on 10 Aug 2015

It really depends on your riding style. Usually on the SC models every season. I've replaced them as often as 10hrs apart if they fouled out.

Josh Mathis commented on 26 Mar 2015
