Oil filter.

[jchavis]

New owner. GP GT. Yeah. I just bought the car and the guy couldn't remeber the last time he changed the oil, no sticker. So I'm doing it this weekend. How hard is the oil filter to pull off? My old honda was a bitch to get off even after i would hand itghten it. My GF's tundra it's easy. Thanks.

If you can get it up in the air, it's easy. If not, take it somewhere. For $18.00, why get dirty.

Good luck

Fram is one of the worst filters you can get. Go with AC delco or Purolator or Mobil 1.

You don't even need a jack to remove the filter. Turn your wheels hard right and you can reack it through the fender well. I use Mobil 1 filters most of the time. Store didn't have them when I changed mine last month so I bought a K&N.

I use NAPA NASCAR Select Spin Flow filters. No problems.

I agree and then what do you do with the old oil.
It took me months to clean up the last house I bought from a driveway
mechanic,he had a 45 gal drum in the back he used.

Plus I interlocked the drive way a couple of years ago its scary enough
just changing the oil on my bike.

Most oil change places will take old oil.

This is true. What do you think they put in everyone's car that want an oil change.

They use to do that around here now they charge a fee,
Also the lube shops do a change in 10 or 15 min.

But that drum I had a hell of a time getting rid of it because I wasn't sure what all was in it.
I had to pay a chem waste company to take it.

Should have made the previous homeowner remove it with a threat of calling the EPA.

My brother-in-law always drive his Mercury/Ford cars onto a 2x4 on 1 wheel and do his oil change without jack or ramp.

Having all GM cars, I use rhino ramps for oil/filter change; there is no way my hand can reach the drain plug without the car is up... I use the ramp because I also can clean/grease the underside...

oil changes are pretty straight forward on a GP. nothing to it but having it done is also a nice option. i would stay away from FRAM, they are not a good choice but to each their own.
