Oil & Fuel Changing oil and filters a breeze.

[RalphVa]

I changed the engine oil, filter, fuel filter and air filter. It was all a breeze compared to stumbling efforts before. The fuel filter was especially easy. Got a deep 12mm socket and attached a U joint and then long extension to the U joint. The 12 mm came out with no binding and went back in later with no problems. Once I rotated the fuel filter aseembly up to about perpendicular and above its normal postion, I easily removed the ring holding the filter by hand. I've a little "finger" tool that I use to loosen the oil filter. Bought it at NAPA.

About the only hard part was getting the air filter out and back in because of interference with that upper heater hose. That cover for the air filter WILL NOT go back vertical the way the arrow points. It never has.
