Changing the Oil filter on 96 sc400
 

Gentleman,

I just aquired a sc400 and it now time to change the oil. I searched below the engine and there is a plastic shield. does this shield require removal to access the filter?

Thank You for your help

Yes and the oil drain plug too.

Hey Bob, where in MD are you?

Sorry Bob,

I forgot my manners. Welcome aboard. You'll love that car and this forum. What color and how many miles on your car?

George

I remove my oil filter from above. Can't get a good grip from below with that conduit in the way.

Oh yeah, stupid me, welcome to the club! :D

Thank You for the Welcome..

Lucky devil,

I'm in Alexandria and also have a 96 SC400.

Your name sounds very familar to me. Ever work in McLean or upstate NY?

George

Congrats! and welcome!!

No need to remove the plastic shield unless you have a garage lift. I find it easier to remove the oil filter from the top, driver side.
