oil filter
when removing the oil filter, what happens after you unscrew the black cap? will oil spill out when you take it off? and what size filter does the 2.2 ls model take? if anyone has a pic, that would help out too.

if the car has been off for a little bit , no oil should spill out , but you will drop oil if your not carefull when pulling the cap/filter off , as the filter cartrage will still have some oil in it , and drip alot
filter # im not sure of , i never pay attention when i get it from the dealer

I drive a 2.2L... doing my first oil change and the filter is stuck to the cap... I've been fiddling with it for over an hour, and I can't seem to get it loose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The filter has notches into which a few radial tabs on the cap lock, so I can't see how pulling could free the filter. I had to cut the filter and pry the tabs open. No damage done to the cap, but as far as I can tell I'll have to destroy the used filter every oil change; oh well, not like I'd re-use them anyway.

Also, if you drain the oil before you remove the filter you won't have any oil spillage at all.

Yeah, you're definitely supposed to drain the oil first. I guess I just wasn't pulling hard enough (yeah yeah) but I was pulling pretty darn hard and I definitely didn't want to damage the cap. Also, the drain plug was fixed insanely tight... made me consider multiple times that I was opening the wrong bolt. Either way, changing the Balt's oil wasn't fun ... I miss my raised s-10 blazer
