I don't have a hoist at home to lift my car up, so what's the easiest way to remove this oil filter with out a hoist?

 

Ummm...I've never heard of anyone....ever, having to use a hoist to reach down below the intake manifold and twist off the filter.

 

Buy a set of car ramps from canadiantire or princess auto to drive the car up on, or make your own out of wood.

 

Reach down from the top or up from the bottom and twist it off..simple as that.

 

I just have big arms and its so hard to reach that, I have big short arms that's why I'm having trouble.

 

 

Lol

 

Just get a friend to do it, should take them 10 minutes. Say you will give them a beer or pack them a bowl, if they help haha. And lololol that picture made my day.

 

I don't think many of us have a hoist at home.. i just use jack stands

 

Floor jack and stands are worth the money. I can reach behind it from above the driver side but I do have long arms.

 

Take the intake manifold off? Much easier to get under the car.

 

Never thought of that, I'll be sure to try that.

 

Taking the intake manifold off just to replace a oil filter...you guys are making this way too hard on yourselves.

 

Jeez...for the big armed people...get the oil filter wrench/removal tool, put the tool on a ratchet, use a bar to extend the length of the ratchet....theres your skinny arm to get down there.

Taking off the intake manifold to remove a oil filter?....wow

 

I quote myself still.
