Hi Group,
I had the pleasure of doing my first oil change on my daughters 2002 Sunfire with the 2.2 engine, the dealer did the first 9 oil changes for her since she bought the car new from them, she did have to pay for a new oil filter only each time. Anyways the oil filter is on the right rear of the engine directly above the exhaust pipe. I ended up removing the right front tire and reaching in thru the wheel well to get at the oil filter in order to replace it. I also wrapped the exhaust pipe with reynolds wrap to keep the oil off the exhaust pipe. How I would have loved for the engineer to explain to me this wonderful placement and what he/she was thinking. Does anyone know of another way to get at this oil filter when you do not have access to a hoist or a pit.
Thanks, Ken
