[jonny2112]

Thanks for that jonny 
I know its a simple job but just needed to check . Mainly where the position of the filter is , mine has the spin on filter so dont know if this has been converted ... hopefully it will come off without a fuss

Nope, unlike my lovely 4 pot, which you don't even need to jack up really! I only do it a tad to fit drain tray under....

Have to fart around with V6 putting it stands, getting covered in oil. Least you have spin on, stupid paper ones with housing take ages, thanks to anti-roll bar getting in the way, you barley get 10 degree turn on a wrench

Never had a problem turning the filter housing by hand once it's been slackened off

Roll bar? You got your engine backwards Tunnie.

3.2 one takes a lot before its adjustable via hand, least 3 or 4 full rotations. I've tried, but still have to use wrench a lot.

Then just guess 25Nm as damn wrench can't move enough

Ok, what ever sub frame, bar, piece of crap thats in the way.

Ah yes those none essential lumps of pig iron that connect the front wheels to the steering wheel and each other, and inadvertently stop the engine from dragging along the road

[jonny2112]

It's easier to get at the filter with the front wheel off too.
