Oil filter question

[fklentz]

I'm only at 1200 miles now BUT I was looking at the filter, it's size and location. It looks like the same one my Frontier had. The location makes changing it a little messy and I was wondering if the oil filter relocation kit that I put on the Frontier will also work on this truck. Anybody got any input?

If you have the Off-Road package just remove the little panel
on the skid plate and your have easy access to the filter. If
no Off-Road then remove the entire skid plate by loosening
the rear two bolts and removing the front two. It's a piece of
cake. Can't get any easier than that, everything it right there
including a little drip spout so you don't get filter oil all over
everything.

It's really easy to change oil in the Titan. I think the main thing you need to do make oil changes easier is to get a Honda Gold Wing oil filter wrench from a Honda motorcycle dealership or the kind that slips over the end of the filter like a giant socket. If you use the traditional metal strap type wrench it is somewhat difficult because you run out of room to unscrew the filter before the band starts to tighten up around the filter. There has been a zillion posts (maybe more) concerning oil changes and the Titan. You may want to start
