So I need to do an oil change, this is my off season for driving we have extreme heat now here in S. Arizona. Is the filter and strainer completely separate? I assume you change the filter and check the strainer? Any you tube videos on this?

I always change oil hot. Never needed a video, it's not rocket surgery.
Once the drain plug is loose, l use a strong telescoping magnet to unscrew it. No oil on my arm, and don't have to dig in the drained oil to find the bolt. Proper torque is a must, especially on the strainer. |
