EcoTech FTW!!!!
 

Just got through converting the Sexalier over to synthetic earl, and man, ya wanna talk about an easy oil change! It uses a cartridge style earl filter that ya access from the top. Just unscrew a cap, lift up, and out comes the earl filter. Remove the old earl filter, snap a new earl filter to the cap, put back in engine, screw cap down until tight, and yer done! Oh yeah, ya gotta drain the old earl out, too. That is down the old skool way, with a conventional drain plug in da pan.

nice write up there UBG...I'll have to keep that in my notes

Yebba. Fun 'lil car to work on! 8-)

yea my old 01 alero had that(2.2L eco-tech) and it made oil changes that less messy. its like 1 5/16 socket right?

its a shame they got rid of those old aleros. they were great cars. my buddy had a 2.2 with a leather interior. the car was soooo comfortable and nice to drive. the back headrests were comfortable enought to sleep on. ok i'm done

yea mine was nice, had 52K when i traded it on my truck. it was fast, i beat like two integras with it lol

Bingo! :nod:

ecotec isnt a real motor...its too small

It's very much a real engine. They race them things. They can be made to run pretty good, too.

i was referriong to the other thread where someone said the mitsu 2.0 isnt a real motor
