2000 9-3 is the world's easiest oil change! Posted by Randy Thatcher [Email] (#22) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Randy Thatcher) on Fri, 6 Jun 2003 10:42:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So I decided to do my own oil change in lieu of a $500 affair 6 weeks before turning in my lease car. I've never crawled under the front of a 9-3 before...
All I have to say is that was SO SIMPLE. Pull the plug and have the pan positioned for it to shoot straight back. Filter's right there, too. Close it all back up using a fresh filter and plug gasket, and refill with Mobil 1. FAST and easy.
I'm used to C900 Turbos with the filter at an angle with all the crap around them. You can barely get 1 hand in there, and you send up spilling 1/2 the filter's oil down the engine bay.
If any of you 9-3 guys are looking to do some DIY stuff, you can save a ton of money and spend little or no time doing the oil change yourself.
