2024 2.3L Oil Filter Access Idea

[CoryB]

Only part I'm not super thrilled with is how the piece that I cut on the top kind of hangs out now and touches the upper control arm. Will probably try to think of a way to secure that back in place for normal use but still be able to disconnect it when changing the oil.

How about a 90 degree metal bracket (bent to the proper angle) mounted to the back of the felt with a couple of small bolts/nuts/washers?

A lot of effort when all ya gotta do is reach down and remove it.

Thanks...

Again...

Super helpful.

Also, no, making 2 cuts with scissors is hardly "a lot of effort".

Once more, I'm very proud of you for being able to reach it. You get a gold star. Please continue to change your oil the way you like to do it.

i wonder if it will be easier to just remove that little flap from the door you made? then you don;t have to add another attachment or have it rubbing anywhere.
