AMUSE kit owners...oil changes?
 

For all those Amuse kit owners out there (replica or authentic), do you have to remove the front bumper just to do an oil change? I am almost due for one and I am trying to figure out whether I can just take it to a quick oil change spot or if I have to budget out some time on my weekend to do it myself.

first off never take your car to those fast change oil places to include most dealers. I have heard many horror stories about them not changing the filter and or oil and charging you for it. also they could use regular oil vs synthetic to make a buck or 100. Take the time to do it yourself to ensure it is done right. as far as the amuse kit you do not have to take the bumper off there should be a cutout there that allows you to access the oil filter and drain plug. :tup:

i pull my bumper off just makes it easier

:iagree:


the only reason I take mine off because of my supercharger

the cutout is crazy tiny. you can dremel it a little bigger for easier access.

I would hate taking the bumper off everytime.

+1..... :iagree: That would be a kick in the di*k to-do ever 4-6k miles.

easier ?
this dude on serious drugs. lol
:bowrofl:

:icon18:

I never take my front bumper off for it.

this

I might be but it's easier then cutting my bumper with a dremel

:)

wow, that's a lot of work just to do an oil change. how about just making a larger hatch under the filter and plug area?

Hee, hee, you said plug the area. :tup:

Thanks guys, ill look into it and let you guys know how I go about it.

:bowrofl:

i take it off when i only have i lip on, do you guys not go on a ramp or something? cuz my stock bumper even scraped everytime

Ya I drop my engine to do my oil changes every 2500 miles so I have easier access to the oil filter. :icon23:

That is awesome..:icon18:

Lmao!!

The bumper is held on by what like maybe 12 bolts on speednuts and 8 clips on the top maybe? It probably takes all of 3 minutes to remove... Not sure why everyone thinks its such a big deal.

The hole underneath required me to twist my wrist in a 90 degree angle and made the twisting off of the oil filter a little difficult, but I was able to do it.

:inoutroflpuke: I thought you also did it to make it easier to put every other fluid in the car too.

So what is the easiest way to change oil with the amuse front bumper?

Cut a larger hole.

At first I was like :confused:
And then I was like :eek2:

I have decided to cut that hole bigger. There is no other easy way.
