I have to file that away..."whinetit?" never heard that before. I can think
of a lot of folks who fit that description. I wonder if there is available a remote oil filter mount for the Liberty?

Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
Removing the oil filter is a bear! Once you push your arm between the
tie-rod and the fan shroud and reach the filter, there's no room to get a good grip on the filter to screw it off. =============================== When my new Liberty reached 2,500 miles, I couldn't get the factory-installed oil filter off so I ended up taking the Liberty to a quick-lube-place to have the oil changed and the oil filter replaced. (Apparently, the factory put the filter without oiling the rubber gasket and must've used an impact wrench). =============================== Then, at 5,000 miles, I changed the oil and replaced the oil filter with almost no effort. I oiled the rubber basket on the oil filter then snugged up the filter by hand and turned it another 1/4 turn. =============================== Now, at 8,000 miles, I first tried a oil-filter end cup (or cap). For picture: http://ace.imageg.net/graphics/produ...1000242reg.jpg The cup fits snugly over the fluted end of the oil filter. One end of a 3/8" extension bar goes in the square hole on the back of the cup and the other end of the bar goes in a socket wrench. When I turned the cup, it rounded-off the flutes and just spun. ================================ I then tried a nylon strap-type oil-filter "wrench". For picture: http://www.dodgetopia.com/images/KD-3149.jpg The nylon strap goes around the oil filter and one end of a 3/8" extension bar goes in the end of the handle and the other end attaches to a socket wrench As the extension bar turned, it tightened the strap around the oil filter. When it didn't unscrew the oil filter, I stopped, fearing it would rip apart the filter and I'd have an even more-difficult time getting the torn filter off the mount. ================================ Is there anyone out there that has actually changed the oil-filter on a Liberty? What tool did you use |
