Neither need removal tool unless it is too rather tight!

4 pot is so easy to get at though, if it is tight, you can normally still get off by hand. V6 is a little more of a reach, and therefore less easy if on tight...

Only differences are sump bolt is on very bottom of sump on v6, and filter is near rear of passenger side of block (next to crank sensor) - need to ideally remove front wheel for decent access.

Forgot about the V6 sump being different. I might jack up project B and get some piccys of that.

Although that will be after the 24 hour elapsed, so I might need admin powers?

Another top guide Tunnie, well done.

Any chance of getting your camera under a real engine and including the v6 pics for completeness, and explaining why the V6 needs a filter removal tool.

Cheers
Merv

Real engine!

- For that no, you V6 people will have to find it on your own

Only kidding, think i have a piccy someware of the V6 oil filter. I may get another one, and also of the tools need for you V6 people.

Thanks for the replys everyone, pictures for me help a huge amount when doing jobs. As you can print them out and compare them to your own car, also its a lot easier to find things compared to a text description.

Tunnie - I've modified your guide, putting in torx bit size, bit about older ones with copper washer, and filter only should be hand tight

Ah ok cheers, to me was very tight, i could't do it up tight enough!

I need to get a picture of the Vx oil and filter, i'll do that tommorow. Can you add the type of oil needed?
