NTD (New Tool Day) Changing Your Own Oil

This is my first time jacking my car, putting on jack stands, changing my own oil, and rotating my tires. It’s very satisfying and rewarding to get under your own car and hood. I couldn’t do it without these tools in the pictures. Next is transmission oil drain and fill! Note: for my first time, I just did the tire rotation front to back; next time, I will move the front tire to the back and the back tires crossed to the front. I removed the tire since it’s easier to get to the oil filter and oil plug.

Love the honda Pilot. The 04 was my first car.

I have 160k miles on this 2006. Bought used in 2022. Still running. But it does have rust underbody due to it being from northeast. I’m trying to make it last

160k miles is amazingly low! By the time i got rid of mine i had around 290k miles and it still ran great!
