Cross thread is when the threads on one part end up misaligning with the threads on the mating part. The part goes in crooked.

For newer models eg 2018 rx450h - would it be more complicated? I have got a $2200 offer for it...
@theoccasionalmechanic45693 ай бұрын
I took a brief look at Chilton’s manual and the process looks similar, but they do have some difference between 2018 up to 3/2018, and those made after 3/2018. I’ll take a closer look tonight and get back to you. But I’m curious, what is the $2,200 offer for?
@theoccasionalmechanic45693 ай бұрын
After taking a closer look, there are some differences. The engine under cover is a bit different - you need to “remove front wheel opening extension pad LH” by removing two screws (I didn’t see a picture for that part, so not sure what it looks like). More importantly, they redesigned the coolant system and removed the Air Drain Cock Plug, so there’s no need for that entire procedure. Also, the amount of coolant required depends on whether you have an Engine Oil Cooler, and also whether you have a Rear No. 2 Seat. I suggest you go to your local library and see if they have Chilton’s manual online, like my library does, then you can see the procedure for yourself.

2003 Pilot, 237K miles...I used the SpeedOut brand to try and extract my air filter bolt. Didn't work, and also stripped the extractor. However, I didn't use any lubricant. I did get a grip with the SpeedOut, but I had to drill into the bolt with a metal grade drill bit first. The drill wasn't strong enough to extract, so I used a vice grip, and that's when the SpeedOut tip broke. I was able to replace the 2 rear bolts with new bolts, Honda Part #: 90091-P36-000. The rear bolts appeared less rusty, and seem to be adequate in maintaining enough closure on the filter box.

Please do yourself a favor and never install an oil filter that way. They typically have the instructions printed on the box or the filter itself, and the instructions on the factory filter say to turn it until it seats (stops turning with fingertip pressure) and then turn it 3/4 of a turn further, and no more. If you overtighten it, it will deform the seal and leak, and then when it's time to take remove that filter, you might really struggle to remove it, or even shred the filter in the process. Just like spark plugs, it should take very little torque to install.
@jonathaniwamasa63435 ай бұрын
I completely agree with you - follow the instructions for tightening the filter that come with the filter. It looks like I tightened the filter 1/3 revolution beyond hand tight. This is less than the 3/4 of a turn you state, so I’m not sure why you think there is an issue.
@jonathaniwamasa63435 ай бұрын
Oh, is it because I tighten it by hand more than “finger tight”?
@Cryocide5 ай бұрын
@@jonathaniwamasa6343 This should help clarify. It's from the OEM service manual: "Remove oil filter. To install, lubricate the oil filter O-ring with clean engine oil and then tighten the oil filter three-fourths turn after the oil filter gasket makes contact with the oil filter adapter." So you spin the filter until the oil filter gasket just touches the engine. Then you only turn it 3/4 more turn, even if it doesn't really feel tight. This will also help make sure that it's easier to remove in the future, and the filter cap wrench might work then.
@theoccasionalmechanic45695 ай бұрын
I do see the chilton’s manual states: “Tighten the filter one half to three quarters turn after it comes in contact with the mounting flange (or follow any instructions which are provided on the filter or parts box).” But I do think my filter instructions said “hand tight” and a “little more” with a wrench. I try to provide the exact instructions as I find them, during any procedure.
@theoccasionalmechanic45695 ай бұрын
iI looks like I tightened by hand about 1/3 more than first contact and then by wrench about another 1/3. So, 2/3 (0.667) beyond finger tight, which is still below the 3/4 (0.750) turn you state. Seems about equivalent to me.

Thank you so much for this vid. What is the year of the RX450h that you worked on in the video? I have a 2013 RX450h AWD, and I cannot find the two engine block drain plugs that you showed in the video. There is a coolant engine bleeder that I find in the exact location (as shown in the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4i6iI1uqK6XoLs), which is the same location for my 2013 RX450h. My 2013 RX450h also has a *white* petcock plug to drain the inverter coolant completely, even draining its reservoir. The yellow petcock will drain the engine radiator and the engine coolant reservoir.

My car is a 2010 rx450h. I thought 2010-2015 were all the same, with AWD having some additional parts that make the area around the engine block drain plug look a bit different, but the location was the same. I’m in the process of moving and my computer is packed up, but maybe I can get to my library on my tablet and see what the Chilton’s manual says.

The tool I used is shown at 1:00. It’s just like a screwdriver, but at the end you can attach a socket, in this case, an 8mm socket. I’ve also got an extension attached, since the screwdriver-type tool wasn’t long enough on its own. You just put the socket on the bolt and turn counter clockwise. This is shown starting at 0:35. That wedge is the only thing holding the battery in place. After you remove it, you can just lift the battery out.
