I find I can change the oil without getting under the car -- using a long 3/8
extension and an 8-point socket. Of course you have to have an oil catcher that
is low enough to slide under there. I usually drive the right front wheel onto
a
piece of 2x8 to give the oil pan some tilt in the direction of the drain.
I think the leak some experienced was with the seal between the original filter
head and the spin-on adapter. I made sure I got all the old seals out of the
original head (there were 2 in mine) and used plenty of Hylomar. The kit I got
for the 4 was different from the one I got some years ago for the 3 -- though
both were from Moss and (I think) the same brand - Mocal, so perhaps there have
been some improvements.
