OK...where's my oil filter gone?
« on: 01 May 2007, 11:39:59 »
have half a day to myself so thought I would give the V6 a oil change...looked at the maintenence guide....

found the sump plug....

WHERE IS THE FILTER!!

looked fron the top...can see it any where, looked under from the front.. from the drivers side from the passenger side!

I think someone has nicked it!

any suggestion how i find it?

Passenger side, by bellhousing / flywheel.
Get to it on ramps or jack up pass front wheel.
'98 will probably be the paper insert type so expect the filter cap to be over-tightened.

If your ramps have rungs rather than a solid ramp surface then get hold of some 7"x2" joist off-cuts, about 18" long, tack a 3/4 x 1" bit across one end so it hooks over (say) the third rung and the car goes up a treat, no slipping of the ramps and no damage to the spoiler.
Be very careful if you try this at the back though....can result in high speed wooden projectiles flying around.

You may have the new type rather than the canister one shown in this drawing, but the location is still the same:

If you have the newer paper-element type, then this is what you are looking for:

That was certainly overdue for a change. Still, your satellite dish looks OK  ;D
