OIL CHANGE MADNESS!!


Recommended Posts

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

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.
