if you have a 95 or up just leave car on gound, turn wheels all the way to the left. then you can either bend or remove the splash shield on the passangers side to get to the filter and drain.

im not sure if you can do this on the 94 and below.

great, you will be set. its so easy, unless you have a body kit and are lowered. then it gets tricky.

I have been doing it the wrong way. This way is too easy.
