Try having green interior! Not anything you can do to it but paint it all black and be done with it.

Go in through the wheel well. Always had an easier time that way.

I have never had any problems thru the top, I have big arms and hands and with a pair of work gloves it comes right out. I can't even get my arm thru the wheel well. Guess its all in how you go about it.

The last time I changed my oil I just couldn't seem to get it from up top. Took out the gap guard and it was right there no problem. To each his own.

When I do have the time to do my own oil change i turn the wheel to the left to take the filter out. Tire well is def the way to go.

Wired up my backup camera and started bondo-ing my explorer bezel. Painted the light bar I make for the front. Gotta sand the bezel again a few more times and paint it the last time . Double din with iPhone input and backup camera I love it.
