cowboy33 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I would like to change my own oil in my Chevelle. I have the correct AC Delco Duraguard Oil Filter, PF 141. This is the cannister type filter. Hopefully someone could offer a little assistance on how to change the filter. I am familiar with the new screw on filters, but this one is a little different.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest speedydeedy Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Get an oil catch pan.Then loosen the center bolt and let the oil drain for a while.Take the bolt and canister off,remove old filter and gasket. Clean out canister and install new filter and gasket.Oil gasket just like spin on and install.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill pritchett Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Just to reiterate one point. When you take the canister off, make sure you get the gasket out. Also, check to make sure there are no gaskets caught up in the top of the housing as this is a not uncommon occurence. You should only have one gasket for the filter. Also, make sure you buy a fresh filter, as some of the old one may not have the "freshness" of a new one. At lease this is what I have been told. NAPA usually has about any one you would want.

RocketDude Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Good time to install an adaptor and convert to a spin-on filter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
