hey Crew

Just wondering if any of you have experience in changing your own oil filter in your jazz ?

When i pop the bonnet i can spot the oil filter in the front bottom of the engine bay. I was wondering when you guys change your oil filter , do you jack up your can and remove it from the bottom or can you reach in and remove it from the top ?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Cheers
Vuey

jack it up slightly and remove it cos most time it's tight as a **** and you'll more than likely need a bit of elbow grease to get it off. In saying that buy yourself a crab claw shaped oil filter remover (you'll know what I mean when you see it) bought at burson's makes it so much easier (probably don't need to even jack up the car with that tool)
