How do you get to the oil filter?

[FrankNY]

On the 2.2 engine, how do you remove the cap to remove the oil filter?

You just loosen the black plastic cap, it has a big hex on the top of it. There is a special socket made, but I usually just use a large wrench.

Thanks Cliff, got it. This is the 1st oil change I'm doing on this car, just got it last week. Fortunately I had a "1 and a quarter inch" wrench, but I had to remove the battery to be able to get it in there. I'll buy a socket for the next time.

Wow, your wrench must be pretty huge then. I don't have any clearance issues with mine like that.

16" long, I picked up a socket for under $6.00 at AutoZone for future oil changes.
