Did my first oil change yesterday. No problem with the ramps or draining the oil, but that filter was a pain, at least this first time. My usual filter wrench was too big to grab it, and the other one I have that is adjustable with a chain did nothing but dent up the filter- useless. Off to the store for another one, but it didn't work either with the filter all crushed. So I grabbed a large pair of slip-joint pliers. That broke it free easily. Put some plastic down under the filter and spun it off. Under a car, I'm used to just dumping a dirty filter right into the pan catching the oil, but that isn't an option here. Need to lift the filter, dripping oil, carefully straight up, over the front of the car, and out, where you'll need somewhere to quickly dump the dripping filter. Then the same deal with the plastic now holding a bunch of oil- more than just some drips. So I made a little mess, but it cleaned up pretty quickly.
I didn't like not being able to visually inspect the engine's oil filter mating surface, or that you can see hardly any of the filter/engine contact area to check for leaks after starting it. I also didn't like that the end of the dipstick has a burr that grabs and holds a tiny thread of the rag I used to wipe it.
