dubsmx13 7 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 So I decided to do the first oil change on my spark today. After draining the oil i went to remove the oil filter and no luck. After 2 hours of rage, multiple types of oil filter wrenches and the filter even caving in on the side, I finally got it loose. Anyone else have this problem? Also it just so happens that the wrench slipped an broke off the sensor directly above and a little to the left of the filter, i managed to glue it back but I want to order a new one. Anyone know what that sensor is? I cant find any diagrams of the motor or anything online to help. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
stevesparky 20 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I changed my oil myself for the first time, just recently. I went to Walmart and bought a filter wrench (socket), and no trouble getting filter off. I ordered a filter off Ebay. Was about 7-8 bucks shipped. Bought a 5 quart Mobil 1. from Walmart. Poured out I quart and added the remaining 4 quarts to my Sparky. The dip stick was kinda hard to read, but bottom line...quantity of 4 quarts oil looked OK. Very sorry you had problems. Hope it all works out. Smikster 1 Link to post Share on other sites
