Thread: the tune up i did today

Another thing that is completely stupid on the 2.5 is the placement of the o2 sensor. You have to remove it to pull the oil filter. Its placement doesn't allow the filter to come completely unscrewed.

yeah it was 2.5, the plugs are cake once the plenum is off and out of the way, but my god what were they thinking?

Its not really much different than GM's 3.1s. With a sideways V6 the plenum has to go somewhere. With the plugs in the middle of the head there is a good chance they are going to be covered.
