Everybody should know! :)

And I use these before I ever freakin jack it up...

 

 

wow thanks for posting a pic of those ramps. those could defintiely come in hand for my car and my dads vette.

 

Those are sweet! I had to buy different ramps for the GT, and they barely clear. And then they are only 8 inches high, so when I am on the creeper the bottom of the motor is practically in my face.

 

I have no problem changing the fliter on my GT.

I have to drive my GP's front wheels up on blocks to get a jack under it...LOL

 

 

lowered FTW!!!

No they don't, you turn the wheel all the way to the right and go in through the fender.

 

On a 2.2 OHV J-body?

 

 

Nope.

 

 

Best way is from under the car.

 

 

I meant 3300s and 3800s.

lol he used a cresent wrench and a fram oil filter

 

HEY!!!! whats wrong with fram filters???? I've always used them.

 

...

 

L36 and L67's should have a plastic splashguard over that oil filter because wheel spray had my 4 month old oil filter coated with yuck. I spent 15mins just cleaning the area where the filter attaches and then cleaning it again once off so that I knew there would not be any dirt between the filter and mating surface. One errant rock from the wheel and PING a hole in the filter.

 

I shudder at using adjustable wrenches on ANY valuable bolts. If you don't have the right socket on the right drive ... you should not be doing it.

 

I had to jack the car up though to get under and at the pan bolt. Ramps would be fine but I would not have been able to twist the wheel right to get the oil filter.

Yeah ... betcha he could change an intake gasket faster than a jackrabbit.

I feel sorry for all you guys doing oil changes on the ground

 

 

Fram makes terrible filters.

 

Good: Purolater, AC Delco

Better: Pure One, Mobil1

 

of course, there are a couple more, but that's a good list.

[Night Fury]

I cant seem to find AC Delco filters... Thats what I want to use.

[pwmin]

I thought most parts stores carried them. I know Advance carries them for sure.

 

all my info is based on what i've read (tests and reports), although I can't site anything. ACD are only slightly better than purolator.

[AWeb80]

WIX FTW!

[Addicted To Boost]

I've always used AC Delcos. For the TGP, AC Delco has an oil filter with a one-way valve in it. Thats what Jeff M says on turbograndprix.com anyway. I run that filter.
