This is a new one, and really just trivial, but has anyone figured out how to clean the behind the (interior)brake light in the Intrigue? You know, back window area?? I have dog hair and 3 yr old bug parts (sorry to be so graphic)lodged in there and looks as though the only way to get in there to clean it out, is to disassemble behind the whole back seat area. This is just another example of how GM made everything so difficult on this car...can't easily change the battery, air filter, nothing. Thanx anyone

Performed my first oil change on my 2000 Intrigue (3.5). Pretty uneventful with all the information the board (minus the full oil filter canister falling out of my hand). Drain Plug - Fram Sure Drain system (SD-4). I'll let you know how that works. If it weren't for the black plastic shield along the front, you could probably drain the oil without lifting the vehicle. Filter wrench - Rite Fit A258 - 74 mm/15 flutes (purchased at Pep Boys). Perfect fit for the canister. Almost too perfect as I needed a screwdriver to pry it off the canister. AmPro 74/76 mm/15 flutes or Oil wrench "A" (forget the brand name but sold at AutoZone) will work as well as long as the canister was not overtightened like mine was. Oil filter - Purolator 8765. Fram sells this filter for $9 while everyone else is $5 or less (purolator, AC Delco). Engine Oil - I used Walmart oil for High Mileage vehicle hoping the thicker oil will help with the "burning". Also did the engine flush prior to changing. Figured no harm and it only cost $3.50 for the bottle. Overall very easy. Will be even easier the next time now that I have all the tools and no where everything is.

I asked this question awhile ago, but guess everyone thought I might be kidding. So, here's the deal: I have a dog who sheds a lot and various bugs have died in the back window of my Intrigue (these two things ARE related...). Over the past few yrs, dog hair and bug parts (gross) have accumulated in the rear shelf IN FRONT of the rear brake light. Now, I am talking inside the car...rear window. So if you look in my car's rear window, you can see dog hair and...those nasty bug parts. I finally decided to use a damp rag, unfolded, and run it flat against the window in front of the brake light and try to pick up some of the crud by moving the rag from side to side. Are you still with me here? Ok. Well, it didn't work, but I DID succeed in loosening the felt-like fabric from around the brake light. So now it looks worse. How the heck do you clean that w/o dismantling the whole back shelf/seat??? I know this is boring compared to the good stuff like trouble codes, bad trannies, etc, but are there any takers on this one??
