My 1st oil change

[wmh9680]

Hi, I plan on doing my own oil change this time. Been utubing and searching the list and it seems easy enuf except I'm not sure where the filter is. I've seen many posts about how many panels to remove which and what is the minimum? Do I need to buy the kit or can I get stuff locally and some say synthetic and some say semi-syn. Any tips-info appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Not to fear....

Filter is on the left side under the side panel. Start with the left mirror and work in form there. A 36mm wrench or socket for the filter and a t-45 torques on the large plug and 6mm allen on the small plug. It's dark and hard to see under there so don't use the wrong tool on the wrong plug. BajaRon has the best kit around. Check him out, good luck.

Dam if your right. I just replaced the air filter (left side) 2 days ago. What was I thinking? Thank you for the correction. Sorry about that wmh9680, I guess I owe Woodaddict a dinner.
