Acutally I ended up finding the oil filter info in the service manual right after I posted (and unfortuantely after I changed my oil. It says to turn to the Right, to remove the filter. It also has the information on pulling the oil pan, but you have to jack up the transmisson 8 cm, and move some steering arm out of the way.
Last night I also greased 14 of the 27 fittings. Its nice watching new fresh grease push that old gunk out of the way. I found that it is easiest to grease if you first clean off the crud surrounding the bushings, otherwise the grease can't push through. There is so much old grease and gunk under my car. Is there a good way of cleaning the undercarriage of the car and getting all that gunk out? Any other greasing tips?
