Or can I use the standard tool every Jiffy Lube uses...??
Let me know.

Thanks

To do what? Loosen the oil pan bolt, or remove the oil filter? And what tool does Jiffy Lube have?

For the oil Pan, a socket and a ratchet will do the trick. I can't remember the exact size (old age) but someone will tell you,

As for the filter, I recommend getting a new filter, and then going to PEP boys where they sell all the different filter tools that go right over the end of the filter. They cost about $4.00 and work great.

The metal strap style wrench can work, but you don't have much room to swing the handle.

Never did an oil change on an S2K, but every other Honda uses a 17mm for the drain plug.

 

I would recommend buying a 17mm monkey wrench (longer one for more torque) and then a pair of thin gloves. With the s2k, you can unscrew the filter by hand. Gloves are just for the heat. I first drive my car before changing the oil.

 

i did it the way JohnE does it.

 

you do not need a special oil filter wrench...just tighten it as much as you can by hand. be sure to lube up the filter gasket before installing.

 

i use the metal strap style wrench, works cool for me, i hand tighten it as tight as i can get the filter, then i give a little baby turn with the universal filter wrench for some torque i can't get with my weak small hands, plus i usually get oil on the filter, enough for my hands to slip so thats why i use the wrench.

 

use an old rag to grip the oil filter, works great.

 

I use an oil filter wrench similar to this one to remove the filter...

The harder you pull on it, the tighter the claws grab the filter. Works great! To install the filter, I fill the filter with oil about 3/4 full (to prevent oil starvation on start up) , lube the gasket and just hand tighten.

 

All u need is a 17mm socket and rachet and drain pan. Easy as pie bro
