    Yes, my oil filter is right next to the firewall. There is just enough room to get the wrench on the filter to remove / tighten and there are no hoses in the way. It’s a little tight to get the filter out when removing (without spilling oil), but very doable (in my opinion).

    You’ve ” read my mind”! Thanks. Looking forward to that issue

    My engine compartment is hose heavy! Is your oil filter near the engine fire wall?
    Thanks

    I’m able to change the oil in my 1983 Saratoga without removing any hoses.

    Well, at least you’re guaranteed a quality reply! 🙂
    We’ll be covering oil changes in an upcoming issue. I’ll ask the writer to talk about the Saratoga and other models that require extra work. Stay tuned!

    Replying to myself…Am just completing annual. Talked with my A&P last evening. On a Saratoga, the oil filter is located in a VERY difficult to access location. Hoses need to be removed to gain adequate space. SO….I won’t be attempting “home” oil changes!

    Just inquiring if anyone changes their own oil? I fly a 2001 SARATOGA II TC. I am executing 25 hour changes to protect the turbo. Any suggestions? Tips? Just purchased a Khlusman oil filter cutter.
    Thanks
