it shouldn't take more than an hour to do it, the only really difficult part is getting the oil filter off with the stupid POS plastic oil filter cap  |
The filter cap wrench I got from Bernardi is metal. It wasn't cheap ($17) but I'm glad I got it. The first filter I did without the cap wrench (Bernardi said they had trouble finding it in their warehouse so it shipped later than I expected) wasn't bad but it was a little tricky getting a strap wrench that fit, then getting the strap wrench in under the vehicle. In a pinch, you could always just punch a phillips screwdriver through the can and twist the filter off.
With my fumoto valve, an oil change should take 15min to 1/2 hour tops.
