Just what to get everybody's option on how I did it::
OK So I pulled the plug and drained the oil, blah blah blah.
The oil filter is actually on the left side of the engine (closest to the firewall in a transverse car) and almost in the middle of the bay, and right over the transaxle housing and flex pipe :rolleyes2:
So I reached down from the top and popped off the filterand I put a large piece of cardboard over the flex pipe. When I got the filter off, I turned it "bottom's up" and spilled very little oil.
Then I put in the 4 quarts it said in the manual.
It said 4 quarts in engine crankcase, just thinking of it now as I type, did I need a 5th quart with the filter change? :drunk:
