Part 17 - Evo 6 Oil & Filter Change - JDM

[@vagtav310]

Although I'm an Sti guy, I'm always so excited about your evo's videos!!!

[@projectfearn]

Thanks mate 😎

[@TheMarsMarine]

Never knew about the oil filter removal tool until I watched this! That's now 2 things you've helped me with! Cheers bud, you're some guy☺

[@projectfearn]

Opie oil sells the tool. It was £13 i think. I didnt use it properly either. You are supposed to leave it on as you undo it as there us a hole in the bottom and the oil drains out of that ha. Love it 😎

[@snarfusmaximus]

Your timing is pretty good with this video. My fiance is about to do this on her Tommi Makinen Evo and she needed to know where the sump plug and filter were. Looks like it's gonna be a piece of cake. Thanks.

[@projectfearn]

Glad it helped :)

[@satvirmusic3049]

Loving these regular uploads mate. This is what it’s all about. That feeling of just buzzing when the car is working as it should is priceless. Your video is tempting me to give my Evo 7 a on-the-drive service too. 👀 may as well order some parts then haha!

[@projectfearn]

Its just nice pretending you know what your doing sonetimes haha. Cant beat a cheeky oil drop 😎

[@satvirmusic3049]

projectforduk you’re doing well then mate 😂 keep it up and the content coming. 💯

[@projectfearn]

😎😎😎

[@Mk2Mitch]

Love it mate, wicked video as per 👍🏻

[@projectfearn]

Thanks mate. 😎

[@NobleGangsta13]

Great video mate, I own a 7 and saw your link on facebook today, subbed and keep it up n keep safe!

[@projectfearn]

Thanks pal. You stay safe too :)

[@Jamie-Evo]

good job mate, i use that oil in my 9 its great stuff

[@dannymyers8304]

Good video mate 👍

[@projectfearn]

Thanks mate :)

[@everydaydetailing6449]

Top Video Danny keep the Evo content coming 😀 My 6 had the lifters done at 40,000 common job on these, just be mindful with age these engine's can suffer from rod failure, so talk to an expert about that perhaps, if you are going down the cambelt/lifters route. Extra cost but maybe worth being done all at once 😀👍

[@projectfearn]

Thanks for the heads up mate. Will have a word when it goes in :) 😎

[@msheridan175]

Nice video mate. I'm about to do the oil on my IX. Did you use any sealant or a crush washer for the sump plug or no need ?

[@projectfearn]

Yeah mate there is a washer if i remember :)

[@hi2lenduffy837]

My evo always makes me 😊 best car for that, lash adjusters will sort that noise

[@projectfearn]

Yeah deffo going to get them done :) 😎

[@neilobusk]

Having a brew and a jammy dodger... :) Honda have bee doing those oil filter tools for years...you used to get em free with the genuine filters... Would 0w 40 not be better for cold start noise ? or is it maybe too thin for these engines ? Keep up the good work N

[@projectfearn]

The oil change has deffo helped. Hopefully when the lifters get done it will be sounding sweet, as its not a noisey car having standard exhaust etc :) 😎

[@stevesas632]

0w 40 is too thin yeah. Some even use 10w50 or 10w60. The manual for my 8 says 10w30, go figure lol

[@neilobusk]

@@stevesas632 yep..i know....:( i got a gen 2 Mazda 3 mps... its the same thing... :( thin oil gets passed your turbo seals or somethin...) N

[@dazbuster]

why do you have to wait until lockdown is over to get it in a workshop? are they all closed in UK?

[@projectfearn]

Yes most bodyshops are. Some workshops remain open to service key workers cars but most of the motor industry has shut pal 😔

[@dazbuster]

als hops and workshops ope here in australia....fixing your car is essential anyway.

[@dazbuster]

@@projectfearn wow...i am from irlam if you know it? been here down under since 1999, first found your videos at GS escorts as i was missing the old cars, recently found a barn find 88 escort turbo in mercury grey. ( 5 imported down here) would love a sniff arounf the old wreckers yards again...keep up the good work..

[@projectfearn]

Yeah i know irlam pal :) lucky find that mate 😎

[@jimmyrecard6021]

How reliable has the evo been to you?

[@projectfearn]

Never missed a beat mate 😎

[@jimmyrecard6021]

@@projectfearn wonderful to hear mate.

[@projectfearn]

[@mjcork6010]

Try car idling all electrics off 10 mins, turn engine off. Turn engine back on, all electrics on, radio, lights, aircon blowers on, idle another 10 mins. Should sort your idle, it did mine. It's on the forums if you look hard enough. My idle was shocking after disconnecting the battery. Skirt screws on ebay for pennies, just done mine cost bout a fiver. 14 x 3/4" BZP 10mm Hex Head SELF TAPPING SCREW Captive Loose Washer Zinc Plated.

[@projectfearn]

Cheere mate

[@stevesas632]

Enjoy the vid Danny. When you get car cleaned underneath, be an idea to wire brush the sump & get painted. I used an epoxy VHT satin black on mine & looks good.

[@projectfearn]

Mate it wont stop at painting the sump though will it ha. Next thing the car will we in bits painting every single bit ha 😁😁😁

[@stevesas632]

@@projectfearn yeah but if you go that far, it then becomes a bit of a show car that you don't want to drive, knowing the underneath cleaning you will have to do in your return lol

[@projectfearn]

I know. It would be a shame to have it parked up 24/7. If i had enough room i would deffo do it and keep it as a garage queen :) 😎😎😎

[@bigsteviesri]

Hi if im thinking correct is your can not wanting to idel have you done think its called a hard rest i had the same prob after i got my car pm me and il give you my number and i can describe how i got my idle back ps im not a mecanic but it worked for me if it helps keeps the vlogs comeing .

[@projectfearn]

Cheers mate. [e-mail] :)

[@bigsteviesri]

@@projectfearn Hi i tryed to reply dont know if you got it but if its the same this is the problem i had the car would not idle from cold so this is what i had to do was disconnect the battery leave it 10/20 mins. Then i reconnected the battery started the car with a bit of revs to keep it running turned everything on heaters lights tear screen and left it 10 mins then turned the car off then restarted it and bingo it idled from cold as it should not had a issue since other than that there is a mutt screw on the throttle body you can try think it was on mlr i found this hope it helps.

[@projectfearn]

Will give this a go. Sounds like a weird ritual but i will try it ha :)

[@griffinjamie5446]

@@projectfearn I was told the same as what Stephen was saying to reset my idel when I put a new battery on and it worked a treat. Keep up the good videos mate.

[@layton7430]

I was speaking to evo owners n they said they are not daily car! Like it's a track spec ariel atom or something, it's a 4 door family salon with a reasonably powerful engine! It's these idiots that install solid mounts throughout, 3 plate clutch etc for driving down their street showing off to scallies on the estate, never going to a track, an evo could quite comfortably be a daily driver if fuel cost isn't an issue, mine will get used daily when it comes back from the garage

[@projectfearn]

I have a few mate with big horse power ones as dailys ha

[@olliegti6]

I couldn't agree more, I daily mine and track days without issue. If you listened to some owners you'd think there so fragile and or not suitable usually down to poor/cheap 'mods'.

[@projectfearn]

Mine is standard and to be fair it's drives like any other car at 30mph. It is quiet and smooth. Yes fuel consumption isn't great but the car is super comfy to drive

[@olliegti6]

@@projectfearn exactly, I recently went through and replaced every door seal (not cheap) but it has made it so much quieter inside now. My car came with some questionable mods, 18" wheels and Tein coilovers, and it was like I had no suspension and very little agility, it just felt leaden. I've now gone back to the standard 17s on Pilot sport 4s and fitted Bilstein B16s with standard RalliArt top mounts. It rides beautifully and has great body control.

[@projectfearn]

I think people like to make their cars out to be beasts and totally unpractical to sound cool haha yet for me you couldn't get any further from the truth with an Evo. Its comfy, spacious and rides mint. Yes fuel consumption ain't great but it isn't great on a range rover either.
