Also, how accessible is the oil filter? I already have trouble with my, albeit somewhat antiquated, oil filter wrench with the stock setup - this looks quite a bit more cramped. |
to replace the cogged belt you basically have to remove the mounting bolts and the silicone intake coupler....so 4 bolts and hose clamp...tensioning is easily done because we use a manual tensioner
regarding the air cleaner...we decided to place it in the cold air area of the bumper for performance and space reasons....removing the bumper is not very hard and filter only needs to be cleaning every 30,000-50,000 miles
as for oil filter access....its not a problem...dont know about using a p-clamp style filter wrench, but definitely not a issue with a socket style oil filter wrench or even just using your hand with a piece of sand paper
