Re: Crossfire Oil Change
Y'all,
Any gouge on the size of the oil filter wrench needed?
Checked my old tool box and have a bunch of different sizes from past cars ('53 Packard Clipper through to an '09 PT Cruiser), but none fit the Crossfire:
BTW the Packard had a big metal tank with a twin-arm screw-down top to house a filter. It was an option item in 1953.
I replaced that monster with a spin-on mod as the original filters were not available.
Beautiful straight 8 flathead engine; a real pleasure to drive.
Cheers,

Re: Crossfire Oil Change
Oh, yeah … duh!
I've got several strap wrenches hanging over the work bench.
Who'd a thunk?
Guess I was used to the hard to reach under-the-car filters that I used the wrench sockets with extension rods and ratchets.
Maybe I'm just getting old!
But, I'm loving this Crossfire more each day.
Thanks,
