2011-2016 Honda CRZ Engine Oil and Oil Filter Change

How to Change the Honda Engine oil and filter for the 2011-2016 Honda CR-Z

Time: It took me about 1 hour

If you have a maintenance minder A** or B** (i.e. B123), this is the engine oil and oil filter replacement DIY for it.

I used the Mobil 1 0W20 Extended Performance Engine oil and the Honda OEM 15400-PLM-A02 Oil Filter

Tools:
Philips or flat head screw driver
17mm Socket wrench
If you need a 1/2 rachet for the socket
Oil filter wrench
Jack/Jackstands/Ramps
Funnel (this also works with the transmission if you put in the tube)
Drain pan

Materials:
Honda OEM oil filter Part # 15400-PLM-A02/15400-PLM-A01 or equivalent
3.8 US quarts or 3.6Litre Genuine Honda Motor Oil 0W20 or equivalent


steps:

1.) First we are going to jack up the car, the CRZ is a little bit hard to jack from the front because
the front bumper is so low, so I followed the guide on the CR-Z Forum to jack up the car.
The Front jack point is between the 2 front wheels,
make sure you also setup the jackstands once you have the car jacked up.

2.) Pull the hood release lever

3.) lift up the hood , and support it with the hood prop rod.

4.) Under the car there is a plastic cover , we will need to remove 4 screws, you can use a philips or flathead screw driver, but here I used a drill to speed up the process.

5.) After those are removed, coming in from the front of the car, it should look like this.

6.) Remove the drainbolt with a 17mm wrench

7.) Let the old oil drain and position the drain pan to try and avoid spilling

8.) Use a clean paper towel or rag, wipe off any metal shavings and old oil from the drain bolt then replace the old washer with a new washer

9.) Replace the drain bolt and then tighten it with a 17mm wrench, also clean up the area with a rag or a paper towel.

10) Remove the old oil filter with an oil filter wrench.

11) Use a finger to lubricate around the gasket, then fill the new oil filter with oil

12.) Clean the oil filter area then screw on the new oil filter, do not overtighten. I have no oil leak issues with hand tighten oil filters over the years.

13.) Use a funnel, fill up with 3.8quarts or 3.6Litre of 0w20 oil,I'm using the Mobil 1 0w-20 Extended Performance for this oil change.

14)Remove the funnel and replace the oil filler cap

15.) Reinstall the main plastic cover

16.) Lower the car

17.) Check the oil level
