changing oil 88 2.5 (Page 2/2) jdv APR 28, 05:43 PM Not going to fight it. Don't want a 4" Whole in the oil pan that I need to wait on a part to come in to fix it. I was off today and planned on changing the oil but it didn't work out . No biggie. On a side note I found a nice spot to mount my coils. skywurz APR 28, 05:58 PM quote Originally posted by Patrick: Weird. The OP really needs to get that sucker off. Even worse you cant really take a torch to it to heat it up as you would be also cooking the oil on the inside of the engine also there is a plastic/rubber jacket right on the other side for the oil filter pickup you would melt. This is why I suggested just running and heating the engine that way and hoping for the best.
