Okay i was wondering for those of who have the strut bar in the front. Is it kind of hard to get the oil filter off when you're changing your oil? I mean the bar being there does that create a problem? This might sound like a stupid question, but it just came to my mind when i was driving back from college.

I believe changing oil filter on the Gs is done undercarriage. If I am wrong..oh well, I am just thinking from lofting off work as well :p

No problem from the top either! :)

I don't have a G20, but I have the same engine - for all intents and purposes, it's the same.

Having the strut tower bar actually helps when removing the filter, because it gives you something to lean on. Useful, if your car is lowered - not so hard on your back then.

A (lower) sway bar shouldn't get in the way either.

teamnissan where can i find that front lip you have? the little picture with the silver g20

NO it's not a problem.

no problem here...I have the Stillen strut brace and get the oil filter also from the top...no problem except that its kinda tight in there...

Hey Trag,

It is standard NISSAN accessory here in Europe! :)

Strut bracing isn't a worry. The best way to do it is to reach in with left hand from the front and grip like a mad man or use a filter wrench, whatever works for you.
