#1 of 5 Tuscon oil fliter access by hyundaifan Jan 13, 2007 (4:58 pm)
I can't believe how difficult it was to access and change the oil filter on my 2006 Hyundai Tuscon. It seems that removing the front shield is the only way to access the filter. Anyone have suggestions? Replies to this message: jimwk (Oct 10, 2008 8:28 pm) flakey (Nov 20, 2008 11:09 am)

yes, the only way to change the filter is to remove the shield. what i did is to replace the bolts with studs, this makes removing the shield easier and faster. good luck ! Replies to this message: ulltron (Jan 10, 2008 7:02 pm)

Replying to: airflyte (Mar 28, 2007 7:43 am) I used a jig saw and modified the shield by cutting out just enough of the plastic so the oil filter can be reached easily. Now, I have the easiest filter to reach and change of any car I have ever owned. With the high ground clearance, I don't even need ramps, just lay down a a mat and do the job.

Replying to: hyundaifan (Jan 13, 2007 4:58 pm) Before reinstalling the plastic front shield, I drilled out the rivets holding that sheet metal louvered plate on, replacing them with 8-32 threaded pop rivets. Next time, for oil filter access, I can just remove the plate with installed 8-32 SS pan head screws which pass through the plastic and into the plate's now threaded holes.
