Changing my oil tomorrow. Completely forgot what size wrench I need for the oil drain plug. 2009 accord couple lx-s i4. Tks in advance.

I believe it's 17mm for both my J35s, I'd guess the I4 is the same but don't know for sure.

 

[The_Rizzle]

I think you're right. Probably the only one I don't have.

 

[Hittman]

Yeah, 17MM socket. I've got the V6, my wife has the 2.4L I-4. Heck, even my 2001 Civic used 17MM socket. Horray for Honda consistency!

What wrench size for oil plug?

Hi everyone. I want to change the oil on my '08 Accord 2.4L, but I don't know what wrench size to use on the oil plug. None that I have fit. What's the correct wrench size? I'm in the U.S. Thanks.

My 2014 has a 17mm head on the drain plug, I think they all have used that size.

 

[Chris_G]

Thanks. That worked. Now, were is the oil fliter located?

 

[ethan2014]

Oil filter is located closer towards front bumper and a little towards passenger side.

 

[Chris_G]

Got it. Thanks. Just changed the oil. Does it really require 5qts?

No.

Where did you get that information from?

You can read your owner's manual or download a free copy from the Honda Owner's website.

You have a spec-v? Not to sound like a jerk, but is this thread serious? Figure it the hell out man! This is common easy information that the manual even has. Try different sockets, look up for the filter, and fill it quart by quart and check it out.

I am not sure if Chris_G is a troll....he posts some "interesting" things. Perhaps he posts while driving his dangerously slow Sentra SE-R Spec V car, as the car is so slow that he could text, study for med school, nap, and change out the carpet while driving as once again, it is a dangerously SLOW car.

His epic thread is here: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/11-pit/475626-why-do-4-cyl-accords-try-race-me-thread-closed.html This thread provided many a laugh...

Ahhhh I get he's a youngster, but we all started somewhere and need some tough love. CLOSED!? I gotta check this out. I love when people sub 500hp think their car has any real power. Even when I had my tweaked up Audi, it was a 10-11sec car, but I knew there were still faster machines out there, but man I watch out for those spec-v's. They smashed me constantly

I thought you didn't have a 17 mm wrench.

[Chris_G]

I thought you didn't have a 17 mm wrench.

I did. I just had to look at the sizes correctly. 5 qts of oil on this engine, is alot.

 

[desertrat]

Sorry Texas but that's a 6 inch wrench which is about 152.4 mm.

 

[RickBlaine]

Man-up! Use your bare hands to loosen lug nuts and oil drain plugs on hot engines.

 

[Nexus1155]

I think it means length, even if it was a 6in adjustable wrench that could provide any torques, I doubt it would have a spinner.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in here!?!

5 Quarts is a lot? BOY never get an engine bigger than a 4cylinder please, you may hurt yourself
