Oil Filter....

[BS87]

Ok... just went to change the oil & filter on my 84 eta, and according the bently, the oil filter is somewhere under the Airbox, on the drivers side of the engine. Strangly enough, mine is no where to be found over there. I'm 90% sure its sticking out of the right (Passenger) side of the block, but i just wanted to check first.

What gives?

So you don't know what an oil filter looks like? Post a picture of what you think you're looking at.

I know what it looks like, just wanted to see if it was odd to be on the opposite side of the engine (according to the bently)

On my eta, it is on passenger side of block. ;)

You're reading the 4 cyl section of the book then. Yours is on the passenger side.

yeah it's under the exaust manifold. I don't know about the ETA engine, but on the B25 I can stick my hand in there and spin it off. you could also use an oil filter wrench, but doing it with my hand is usually easier and faster.

Yeah, i had changed it anyway, but after you said the 4 cylinder section, i re-read it anyway, and it made no indication as to the type of engine. I was just in WTF mode.
