Hi, how do I replace an oil filter for a 2006 Che Cobalt and where is it placed ? Thanks
I have a 2006 chevy cobalt LT..and i just replaced my oil filter today!!! after several hours of looking i finally looked on the front side of the transmission block.to the left just below the air intake system is a hard heat resistant plastic black bolt topper.it is 1 1/4" in size..i bought a 1 1/2" size and a 36mm size socket torque wrench..both didnt work..1 1/2 was way too big, the 36mm was just slightly too big..took them back, replaced for the 1 1/4" inch socket and voila!!! is was rather difficult..you will need an extender and some good torquing to do to pop it..but once you do it will pop fine..oh, and you will need a 1/2" drive socket wrench.but the 1 1/4"inch socket..pop it onto a 1/2" drive socket wrench with the extender and you are good to go!!
I used to change my oil all the time...easyier...cheaper...faster...yea....not since i got a cobalt. Now i just buy my oil, filter and take it to a shop where i watch them try to find the filter.....heheh funny how i've managed to get so many shops to reduce the price of a change from 19.99 to 10 when i say i brought my own stuff and could they use it instead. F CHANING THAT OIL MYSELF EVER AGAIN. i'll pay 10-20$ to loose the hassle of taking all the **** off the supercharger to get to the filter

and what size is my oil filter? im trying to do it myself and ive found alot of help online about how to change it, and now that ive found out where to locate it, i dont know what size it is :(
Yeah. I said F*** it when i tried doing my girlfriends oil. Us men are suppose to know what were doing. Well let me tell you, i felt like a real idiot when i was trying to find the oil filter. Instead of replacing it, I just told her that you dont need an oil filter. haha. You are definitely better off going to a shop and having them do it.
