Oil Filter Change
I rarely use the CL now so it been a hile since I changed the filter. Over the weekend I drove the car up my ramp to change the filter, though there had got to be an easier way other that pay some one to do it. Other than lifiting the car and reaching up does any one have any tricks to make it easier?

if its a 3.0 you dont even have to lift just crank the wheels to the left all the way and you can reach the filter and drian plug from the side of the car. thats how i do my oil change, i could go through the trouble of racking it up on a lift at work, but this way works just fine.

This has one been one of the easiest car to do oil & filter change. I, too, have a 3.0.
