Accord hybrid oil change

[2005jettatdi]

I completed my first oil change on our 2024 Accord Hybrid yesterday afternoon. Pretty easy overall. I drove the car up on blocks to make for easy access. Removed 8 bolts of two types to remove the skid plate. The oil drain bolt is actually labelled. The oil filter was right there and easy to get at although I had to use large Channelocks to remove it since it was our first oil change. I used Mobil 1 0W-20 and a Honda oil filter. 5,011 miles.

That’s what gets me sometimes. If they’re putting some sort of a splash shield under the car that needs to be removed for an oil change, why can’t they make the bolts of the same type and size?

So sloppy
