Did my first DIY oil change today. Pretty straight forward however the torque specs on the Canadian Manual made me break 2 8mm side bolts. The manual states 9 lb/ft and the bolt broke at 8 and the second one at 7. Got replacement 10mm head bolts from bolt plus. The broken pieces weren’t seized so just came off by hand.
So for anyone trying to change oil make sure your torque is no more than 6lb/ft for the side filter panel. The drain bolt is specified at 18 but feel like I might have overtightened it, but thanks to the crush washer nothing happened. Also used the old gasket.
Now going for a test run!!
