ok dont yell cuz i have searched but only could find for the ss where the hell is my oil filter on my 2.2 lt???? pics if possiable please thanks

 

it's in an odd location, but very easy to get to.. .take off your plastic engine cover, and it will be to the left of the airbox... it is white, and has a very large black cover... i use a big pair of plyers to take it off... good luck!

 

how does the engine cover come off?? is that the only way? and how can there be something left of the air box? my air box is as far left as anything can go. after that there is just my front fender

 

I'm not 100% on the 2.2/2.4 but I'm guessing left as in from the perspective of sitting in the car, in other words closer to the driver's side?

 

your engine covers come off by taking off oil cap and pulling up on the plastics

 

thats the only thing holding that whole thing on? an oil cap? lol

 

And two metal rods and rubber plugs. one is up by the left strut tower and the other is by the oil cap. The filter is right near the oil cap. a large 1.5" plastic nut with a domed top kinda looking thing. That is for the 2.4L I assume it is the same.

 

 

The location is right, but DO NOT use pliers to remove that cap. I made the same mistake on my '03 cavalier and cracked the retaining cap. I didn't realize it until several hours later when my car was puking oil all over my driveway. Luckily I hadn't driven more than a few miles before I caught it.

Do yourself a favor and invest in a 32mm socket and an extension. That is all you need to properly remove and re-install this cap. I would also suggest a torque wrench so you don't overtighten and destroy the flange on the cap.

 

You are freaking awsome i looked for that darn thing for like an hour....lol

 

and heres a pic of the 2.2's

(i didnt do all that ms paint work to not post it cause somone else alerady did)

 

you're welcome... if you're looking in the engine bay, it would be directly to the right. i'm a videographer, so my rights and lefts are off sometimes. (stage right is the left side, stage right is the left)
