#218 of 246 Oil filter change experience by batman47 Jan 10, 2009 (12:43 pm)
Oil filter change facts   I have changed the oil filter on my Outlander twice. The vehicle has 24K miles. The Japanese filter was changed at 15K miles and I used the oil filter sold by American dealers at 22K miles. The second time I changed the oil filter it appeared to me that in order to have the filter out I had to turn the filter clockwise. This happens because it appeared that if I was turning the filter anti-clockwise I was tightening it more. Is this the way how the oil filter in a Mitsubishi Outlander has to be operated or is it just a mental mix up on my side. The norm is that turning clockwise tightens and anti-clockwise loosens. Could someone with oil filter experience taken me out from this confusion? I could do it the hard way, i.e. lifting the car and manipulate the filter by myself.

Replying to: batman47 (Jan 10, 2009 12:43 pm) I haven't changed the filter on my Outlander yet but I have done oil changes on plenty of other vehicles and I've never heard of any oil filter having left-handed threads (i.e., turn clockwise to loosen). As you face the end of the filter (i.e., the closed end of the filter is nearest to you), you should turn it counter-clockwise to loosen it, and clockwise to tighten it.

Replying to: wheel_dawg (Jan 10, 2009 2:00 pm) I have also changed my oil filter twice in my own driveway.(like to use synthetic as the oil change places mark it up too much) It's a normal thread (clockwise to tighten) but perhaps you didn't have a good view and were viewing it backwards at the time. I used a few 2X10 boards under the front tires to get just a few more inches clearance and remove the lower valence with the pop out plastic things (and maybe 4 bolts) to clearly see the filter (and the metal drainspout deflector.) Access is pretty good when done this way, but not quite as simple as my wife's '06 Malibu ( one of the easiset I've ever had with the filter remaining upright and straight access to the filter and drainplug within an arm's length reaching under the car).

Replying to: gene_v (May 18, 2009 11:28 am) It looks like a bear to get at. Doesn't the V6 need valve adjustments too? Replies to this message: gene_v (May 21, 2009 6:29 pm)

Replying to: toomanyfumes (May 19, 2009 4:06 pm) My dealer wants $570.00. I think that is outragous.
#226 of 246 door panel removal - 2007 Outlander XLE by chelentano Jun 15, 2009 (6:33 pm)
Hi, I need to replace damaged driver side mirror, but I can't figure out how to remove the inner door panel. I inspected the panel but I can't find any screws on it. Does anybody know where the screws are and any other tricks to remove the panel?   Thanks.
