Finally figured out the oil filter drain trick. Really cleaned up the oil change. I had spun that little piece around the last oil change but never pulled.Loving the Accent.

The Accent and a few other Hyundai's have a canister filter with a cylindrical protrusion on them. This protrusion sticks through the canister cap on the car and is locked in with a plastic pin. Hyundai set it up where you turn this piece 90 degrees and pull and it pops out, draining the canister.Please describe this. Thanks

Just to note it's sealed with an o-ring to prevent any leaking.

Random question for a fellow accent owner. I see you're in Florida so maybe this wont be relevant. Have you noticed the engine being more clattery on colder starts? Going away when the car is put in gear? I've also noticed this on low speed deceleration with the windows open. I suspect something to do with the duel fuel injection system.100%, it makes a huge difference and makes it easier.
I had a '98 GS400, loved that car. That era was when Lexus made very well built cars.I genuinely love it
