SPCBruce89 Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 so being a good brother I changed my brothers oil in his 88 Buick century after draining the oil I looked for the filter location I looked where most would be but no luck then I found it here :fs1: after some cursing, a broken oil filter wrench, and a busted knuckle I got it out and finished the job and I a m never doing it again for him
87Chief Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Good thing you did though, some places wouldn't even bother if it's that hard, and would've left the old one on.
86customanche Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 That doesn't look fun. You're such a good bro

Comanche County Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 That's what you get for letting your brother drive a Buick .
SPCBruce89 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 That's what you get for letting your brother drive a Buick . tried to get him to buy a wrangler he was looking at but he got the granny moblie as i call it lol :doh:
xjrev10 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I bring everything but my jeeps into a oil change place. My 08 CTD is a huge :fs1: to change the oil on. At least removing the filter is a big PITA. Fuel filter even more of a PITA. My 01 Cummins was simple.. The newest addition is a 04 Liberty; that will be brought in..
Sir Sam Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 $#!&, I need to change the oil in my XJ....been about 12k miles...... :ack:
carnuck Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Cut a hole in the tin pan then use a filter cap wrench. Easy peasy
Incommando Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I bring everything but my jeeps into a oil change place. My 08 CTD is a huge :fs1: to change the oil on. At least removing the filter is a big PITA. Fuel filter even more of a PITA. My 01 Cummins was simple.. The newest addition is a 04 Liberty; that will be brought in.. If it is a 3.7 KJ you can change the filter easily by standing in front of the jeep and reaching down. It is on the front of the motor under the PS pump. Easy peasy.
Alexia Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 The oil filter on 2007+ Honda Civic Si models is on the REAR on the engine. It also has a metal shield that wraps around 75% of the filter facing the side of the vehicle it is closest.
DirtyComanche Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Sometimes it's worth it just to take it to the quick lube places...
knever3 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Ya know there is an easy way you are supposed to change the filter on that car. There is a plastic piece inside the fender that you move when you turn the wheel to the right. It is an access panel for the filter, it has louvers in it. Easy as pie, and I usually use the filter for a 4.3 chevy instead because it has more capacity.
SPCBruce89 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 yeah I found that out a few days later :fs1: I'm just used to getting under the car and having it right there easy access to it.
