Okay, I give up....Where is the oil filter?

RE: Okay, I give up....Where is the oil filter?
ORIGINAL: 04 Intimidator
Bahh!!! $1 Used 12 inch flathead screwdriver. Hit the side of the filter till you pierce it and go all the way through. Then just twist. I did that on some 70's and 80's vehicles, not sure if I'd have room now.
When you replace the filter though, 1. avoid Fram - just do a websearch to see how much they fall apart. 2. put a small bit of oil on the gasket with your finger and it will come off easier next time.

I just had the ordeal with mine. Mechanics gloves got the original out, now I use K&N filters cause they are super sweet, and they have a 1" nut on the top, perfect for removal from the 3.9 with a regular socket.

I actually laughed out loud at the title (no offense meant). I was used to changing the oil in our pickups or suburban, had to twist your hand and tilt the filter and go through a maze on one of the pickups. And of course it was that pickup that I drove the most. Anyway it took me awhile to find the filter on the car too, dad finally got underneath and came up laughing at me. The 3.9 filter is right next to the drain plug, nice spot even if it's a little tight for a filter wrench.

OMG I can't believe how old this thread is. To answer and old question, I was born mid 70's. This is the way my dad showed me on a stubborn Olds that hadn't had oil changed in like 3 years and was full of sludge.
