Oil change with H/E
Wednesday, May 27, 2009 4:00 PM
I can barely get to the oil filter housing with just my S/C installed. I saw on a picture with the h/e fully installed and the area under the snout of the s/c is where i got to to filter before now its blocked by h/e stuff!!!

How do you S/C guys with a h/e change the dang filter??

Oh and which do more guys go with the CXRacing one on ebay for $150 or a used one off a 03-04 Cobra?? Which is the best for fitment, not performance because I'm sure they will both cool my little M62 more than needed!!

Carefully....







The filter comes out from underneath the charger, between the charger and the core support near the throttle body.

i have the cobra one, it seems to fit well, im not sure if i could go bigger.

i used to move the power steering pump.. but i got sick of all that crap so i just undid 1 bolt that holds the filler thing for the H/E system so i could get my hand in there to lift the filter up and turn it sideways so my other hand which i snaked through from next to the power steering pump and grabbed it then put the new one in then put the thing back in..

i could make a video in 4k miles when i change my oil again.. lol

If you get the cx racing one make sure you get the smaller one..zzp makes good ones also that should fit.

As for the oil filter. Yeah what they said pretty much, just gotta learn how to hand dance with your car .


Lols.
