I did my first V6 oil change today, it is definitely more trouble changing the filter than a regular style filter. The "cap type" oil filter wrench that is required had a very sloppy fit on the filter housing, I had to hold it just right or it would slip around. In a previous post someone said you could get under the vehicle without ramps, well I could not, at least while laying on my creeper, and did need ramps. I would also recomend a torque wrench as indicated in the instructions, that filter housing does not tighten against a gasket as in traditional filters, when it stops it is stopped, metal to metal,no extra give, luckily I have access to a set of torque wrenches.
