Oil Change DIY?
Does anyone have any information on tq specs for the drain plug, size for the filter socket, etc?
I am going to tackle the first oil change today @ ~7,200 miles. I can probably figure it out myself, but the tq specs for the drain plug and oil filter cover would be helpful. I wish I had access to the service manual!
Edit: Popped the hood and oil filter housing label shows it requires 25Nm which is ~18.43 ft-lbs / 221.16 in-lbs.
The filter housing also appears to require a 27mm socket for removal. I'll report back with more when I get under the car this afternoon.
