I tried to change my oil for the first time today, and I can't seem to figure out how to get the oil filter housing out of the car. I was able to unbolt it, but there was not enough clearance to pull it down from beneath the car or to pull it up from above. I was able to turn the housing on its side to exchange filters, but I would really like to see if any gunk has built up in the housing. The car was on ramps instead of on jacks. Does that make a difference?Also, where is the primary filter (the metal one)located? I could only find the fine filter. Unfortunately, an oil and fine filter change did not fix my low oil pressure problem (pressure is only low after the car warms up). Is removing the oil pan to check the oil pump as simple as removing the bolts holding it up from underneath?
