If i could choose, i would probably want a spin-on filter pointing straight down.

The placement of my cavalier's filter is agreeably stupid. At the back of the block tucked under the AC.

My tempo had the best location right at the front and could be reached with no effort or mess. My '80 malibu had it straight down underneath.

SXG 6,

The question is....

How many Quick Lube places would be able to *correctly* change the Toyota cartridge filter without any damage ??

I love the BMW style cartridge filter/housing setup. No mess and filter changes are a snap.

"The cartridge is so clean and easy, I've wondered why more manufacturers don't it that way."

That's why they invented spin-ons in the first place, 'cause cartridge sucked.

P.B.
