dont mean to sound rude but why? the oil filter is in an easy to get to place, i had a 200sx before and the filter on that is a pain in the arse to get to... unless you REALLY need to... there are other things i would spend over 100 quid on...

I thought exactly the same?????? If it\'s a Supra TT or GTR Skyline then they are a swine to get at but the RX7\'s filter is perfect! It\'s right on top of the engine and is even all ready upside down..........wonderfull!!!!

Do i assume that this is sarcasm??? As soon as you take it off, residual oil peshes everywhere - no matter HOW long you leave it for!!! :P

You\'re draining the oil out the bottom first right! lol ;)

On a serious note, if you do the above and then loosen the oil filter a little that will help.... then of course you have to undo and take off all within about 3 seconds!! :Thumbs-up
