Well Doug i fought the good fight long and hard but didn't win this one. :/
I couldn't get the car up high enough to get under it and break that nut loose. Thanks for help!

I have trouble too! I use ramps and I can't seem to get enough leverage unless I position the wrench just right, and use my leg to turn the wrench. It comes loose, and the rest is easy.

Oil filter? Drain plug? Not sure. Both are mentioned.

Cody, which is it?
