Where can I find a good reference for how to change my Honda cb500 Four motorcycle oil and filter?
I have a 1973 (i think) Honda cb500 motorcycle and want to change the oil and filter but am unsure of how.
I believe your best bet would be to search Amazon.com for a maintenance/repair manual for your 40+ year-old motorcycle. Just type in "Honda CB500 Manual" at the top of the page and you should find several books that will guide you through service and repair

Here are some youtube videos. They may not be of your exact bike, but they should be similar enough to give you an idea of what to do.
It's the soul of simplicity. Filter is on the front of the engine. Its obvious. Oil plug is located at the bottom of the oil pan, also obvious. After you have drained it into an appropriate receptacle, put the plug back in, dump a fresh quart into it and let sit for twenty minutes. Drain that as well. You will be out the cost of a full quart of oil, but you will be shocked at how much more crud gets flushed out with it. Also, change the oil before storing the bike for the winter. You don't want dirty oil to settle during storage.
- 2004 Honda Pilot! I did an oil change today check the manual for the engine oil capacity, it is 4.8 liters and put 4.4 liters and add .5 ltr? Total engine oil put is 4.9 liters and I'm surprised the dipstick is above the second hole by 10mm. Is it overfill or do i need to remove some?

- Can I reference a park, or a certain car brand in my novel? I'm writing a book where the charceter is on her way to a certain park, in Dana Point, and she receives an amber alert referring to a certain car type. My question is if I can name the park and car type, as actual names that exist in real life? For example I'd want to use Herritage Park, and Honda Odyssey, but I don't know if I can.
