oil filter change in '95 mark

[cfischr]

recently did a sway bar upgrade with the 1 3/8" sway bars from supercoupe performance. wondering if anyone else did this and how you get the filter out with the added thickness of the new sway bar. currently using fram oil filter, maybe there's one with smaller diameter?

 

[papa bear]

are you having a problem or just wondering if it will be a problem you can snake it out of there

it was a tight fit with the stock sway bar, with the new 1 3/8" sway bar it's impossible without denting the filter

time to relocate the filter!

 

[cfischr]

anyone know of a smaller diameter oil filter since it's such a tight fight anyway?

Not sure of a smaller diameter filter. Have you tried turning the wheel all the way in either direction? This should move the swaybar some and give you some extra room.

never even thought of that. thanks, i will try that next time.
