RS2 Manifold / Oil Change

[BenG]

Hi Guys.

I changed the oil for the first time after fitting the RS2 Manifold which turned out to be a right pain, I ended up having to jack the engine up slightly in order to get my hand around the oil filter, this I don't mind but I still couldn't get enough grip to remove it and ended up putting a screw driver through it which I really don't want to have to do again.

Maybe an oil filter strap would help but i'm unsure whether access and leverage would prevent me from using it properly.

Does anyone have any better methods?

Thanks
Ben

Either a strap or a filter tool mate one that sits on the filter and you turn with a ratchet

Strap from the bottom mate

It's the same issue I have with bodies - there's no room to get your arm down

Jack it up and undo the 4 x 10mm bolts that hold the engine shield up - then stick a strap around the filter from the bottom - easy peasy

Nice one guys.

I'll order up a filter strap, near on impossible without one. It took me over an hour to do an oil change :banghead:

Cheers
