Thanks for the excellent writeup and pics. Made the change easy. After reading all the complaints I thought this was going to be hard. Took less than an hour for the first change, so will be much faster next time. I didn't get much oil out of the filter housing so I might skip the drain next time and just remove it full of oil. The only pain was the $5.99 polycarbonate filter tool that slipped. I noticed that it doesn't seat fully - there are 4 vertical tabs on the housing that prevent it. I filed 4 slots with a 3/8" round file to let the housing insert farther into the tool and then no probs. A cast 65mm one would be better- I still may get one since they are cheap. Installed a fumoto drain valve (F103) to make less mess. Next change I might cut a round hole under the filter housing so that I can leave it on. Thanks again.
