Is there special tool to get the oil filter cap off on a 2007 Fusion with a cartridge type oil filter

On the v6 which is the largest motor available on the fusion it is located at the front of the motor facing the cooling fan and radiator. On the 4cylinder it is located also at the front of the motor under plastic cover. take the two 10 bolts of and slide cover off. This filter is a cartridge type remove cap and reinstall cap with a new cartridge and o ring.

If it's a 4 cylinder it holds 4 quarts ( with new filter). If it's a v-6 it holds 6 quarts (with new filter).

hey
No there's no specific special tools required, you can buy oil filter removal tools which are usually a chain that is rapped around it to get grip or a claw type thing. Try to loosen it with your hand first and if that doesn't work you could use a fan belt and vice-grip's or buy a removal tool. the air filter is just a matter of flicking if a few clips.
good luck

IF IT'S LIKE THE MAZDA 3 IT IS A FILTER CARTRIDGE. MAY HAVE TO REMOVE SPLASH
SHIELD AND LOOK FOR PLASTIC HOUSING WITH
END CAP. YOU WILL NEED OIL FILTER WRENCH
(75.6 OR 76MM) TO REMOVE IT. AUTO ZONE HAS
CARTRIDGE AND WRENCH.

2008 Scion xD oil filter is a cartridge (element only) type. It is located under a heavy, black plastic cap right next to the oil drain plug. To remove the cap, you will need a Toyota "Special Service Tool" or an Assenmacher Specialty Tools "TOY640" or similar cap wrench. Toyota is the only source for the oil filter element; make sure you get a new o-ring (should be in the box with the filter element) and a new drain plug gasket.

ON 4 CYL IT MAY BE A CARTRIDGE. LOOK FOR
PLASTIC HOUSING WITH END CAP. AUTO ZONE
HAS PARTS. SAME PROCEDURE FOR MAZDA 3.
GOOGLE MAZDA 3 OIL FILTER CHANGE.

Oil filter location for a 2007 Pontiac G6. First open and lift the front hood of car. Its some what right from center on the engine about 9 inches from the radiator. All you will see is a black cap with black plastic nut in the center. You will have to buy a special tool to attach to your socket wrench to remove the cap. Turn it counter clockwise to remove it. Inside is a filter attached to a plastic part and rubber o - ring. The filter is NOT enclosed in a metal casing. Remember how it is positioned as you take it out. Pull off the old filter. Remove the old o - ring. Place new o - ring in place. Place new filter on plastic part and place it back inside the engine. Make sure it is placed in the same way it came out. Screw on plastic cap by hand most of the way. The tighten with special tool and socket wrench clockwise, but not too tight. This is now complete. Now you can drain out the old oil from the oil pan underneath the car. Remove hex screw with long wrench for more leverage. One to 2 hours later place hex screw back in by hand and tighten with wrench. Now add about 4 1/2 quarts of 5W30 oil only. Check oil level on dip stick. Add more oil if necessary. Job complete!!!

HI, The oil filter is a canister type filter on the top of the engine. You need to pop off the engine cover and you will see the filter cap in the front of the engine. To take it off I would suggest using the special Mercedes filter removal tool. If this is not an option you could use large pliers. Just be careful as this cap is plastic.

thats ok- they hide it pretty good. if you looka down from the top in front of the engine , it is tward the top,black and looks like a black cap with a bolthead on it. it takes a special tool to get ot off easiest. check out NAPA Service Tools P/N 3932 at your nearest napa. it is black and about 3" in diameter. you have to remove the cover, remove the filter cartridge/replace the cartridge and reinstall the cap with the special tool.
good luck!!
