Message everybody starts somewhere, here's where i started.(90 NA)


first, i went to autozone to get the oil


came back home, suddenly realized that i didn't have the oil filter. go to craigen's this time to get the filter

I got the jack from sears which is 2 1/2 ton, but it doesn't work because its too high.(cost me $27+tax including the 2 stands. good deal huh?


so what do i do? I got this from ebay.com for 99+15 shipping = $114

this is low enough now.

now I got myself ready! get under the car and unscrew
the oil drain plug with this

then I can't get the oil filter off because its too tight. so i went to craigen again (1.5 miles from home), and got this:


and this


then this is what I used to unscrew the oil filter


it only takes 4 quarts though i got 5 quarts of oil.

NOW HEADACHE, HOW DO I GET THIS TRANSPORTED TO CRAIGENS?


MISTAKES MAKEN:
1. WHEN DRAINING THE OIL, I FORGOT THE POP THE HOOD AND OPEN THE OIL CAP.

2. I GOT USED OIL ALL OF MY HANDS , AND DIDN'T HAVE TOWEL TO WIPE OUT

MY NEXT PROJECT, IS TO CHANGE THE TIMING BELT FOR 95 TT ON THE LEFT.

I have no experience, believe me, this is the first time i work on my car ( though i saw somebody else for 5 hours changing the timing belt for my white NA)

just wait and see, i suddenly realize that its not a good idea to live in an apartment since you got no place to work in.
