Replacing Oil Filter on Buick Enclave?Golferdude 08-09-2008, 01:03 PM My wife bought an Enclave and I am looking to change the oil and filter. The filter is in the front and if you remove it oil will get all over the frame and other pieces. Is there a trick to removing the filter without leaking oil everywhere. I can't get a funnel in there either. Thought I would ask here. Thanks. 2.2 Straight six 08-10-2008, 09:58 PM Wash it off with brake cleaner afterward, or use kitchen paper when spinning it off to catch the oil. Do this numerous times a day, still trying to find a better method.. bobss396 08-12-2008, 01:06 PM Go out and get a takeout pizza for dinner. When you're done, cut the top off the box and use it as a shield so the oil runs down the box and into the catch pan. Carefully slide the box top out when you're done and you should have a minimal mess to clean up. Bob 2.2 Straight six 08-12-2008, 04:49 PM I like that idea. Especially the ordering pizza bit.. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
