Oil Change 912

Man, there has been some great info shared here. I think I will modify some of the things I have been doing. Good point about do we take our cars apart to change oil. No way. I think I have been over thinking this whole thing. Thank you guys.

First generation MR2's (86-89.5) usually require you to remove one of the rear quarter panels to change the oil (can't remember if it was engine or transmission oil though), and mid-90s Chevy Cavaliers (or was it early 2000s, can't remember) require you to stick your tongue out the right way AND be a contortionist to take off the filter as the access is through the front passenger wheel well (which causes techs who don't know any better to seriously think about removing the passenger front fender)!

But yes, in general, if you're taking your car apart to change the oil, something's kinda fishy in my eyes (or you're me, when I used to autocross, and decide to rip apart half the front end to tweak ONE thing during said oil change o_O )
