oil service

Can anyone give me some info on changing oil on the 3.5L motor? I would appreciate any pictures or diagrams of the filter/housing and also torque specs for the filter and drain plug.

Thanks, Karl

Also, does anyone know if the oil filter cap wrench for the housing is the same size as GM's older filters, like the PF-47, etc?

Torque per factory shop manual:
Drain plug: 15 ft-lb
oil filter hsg: 18 ft-lb

I use a FloTool #4 Super Graphite filter wrench to remove the filter hsg, works great. Pennzoil makes a similar metal wrench, I assume also #4 size (which would make it p/n 19804). I purchased at my local auto parts store.
FYI, you can remove the filter before draining the oil if you want. Only the oil in the filter cavity will drain.

Thanks for the info, Kimbo, BTW where did you get your FloTool? Also, did you get your shop manual from Helm?

I got FloTool from Kragen, about $5.

Yes, I bot factory shop manual from Helm. I like it, but wish the index was more comprehensive as there is always something I know is in manual but not in index (example: oil filter), would like it on cd with search capability.
I've bot 3 manuals (on cd) on EBAY, the first two were useless (one was by Mitchell), the one I have now sounds better from description, it claims search capability (EBAY #7920540955) for $25, but like the others i get errors during installation on WXP SP2. not sure if i can get to work.
