Call me stupid, but i am changing the oil myself for the first time on my '88 maxima. I can't find the oil filter, where is it?????

 

I hate to sound mean, but if you can't find the filter than maybe you should let a shop change your oil.....

but anyways its located on the rear of the motor, it'll be a cylindrical object, on the '88 it is perpendicularly attached to the motor, pointing straight towards the firewall, twist it off and bingo bango....good luck

 

Actually, I just tried changing my oil for the first time a few months ago. It took me a quick look at my Service manual to find where it is. I also turned the steering wheel to the right to further gain access. It was straight forward after that. It was all part of the learning process man, and somtimes, finding the oil filter is the hardest part.


If you hate to sound mean, don't say anything then.

 

but didn't I tell him where it is located as well?? or can you not read very well...

 

Ohh I see...a small insult is OK if you still help him out in the end. Gotha.

 

and tell me how I insulted him in the first place.....did I say "hey stupid, if you can't find it than you're an idiot", NO....I said if its that difficult for him to find the filter than maybe he shouldn't be doing it, simple as that, please tell me where I insulted him??? if thats considered an insult than people need to grow some ***** and stop being so sensitive!!

 

Dude I replied to your thread in the 1st gen forum earlier today hope you got to it.

 

Okay man, no need to yell. I don't wanna get on anyone's bad side on the org, so I'm just going to say sorry for getting on your case.

Maybe it's because when a while ago I asked how you guys chirp gears (I started learning stick a month ago) someone said something similar. "If you don't know what that is, they you shouldn't be driving stick" or some similar remark such as that.

Anyway, later man.
