Count me in among the "initiated". Just completed the procedure for the 1st time and can tell you it's realy straight forward when following the advice on this forum. I cut the plativ piece off with an exacto knife. The plasic is very soft and the knife went through smoothly (careful, exacto's can de serious damage to eyes, fingers etc. Use safety goggles, gloves and go slowly and carefully). The filter was never changed by the dealership and was dirty with dry and wet leaves. I bought a discount filetr online for $12.50 delivered (dealership wanted $56.95 just for the filter) and $110 to do the full job. Thanks to everyone on the forum and especialy Army and the other "pioneers" !!! Next I want to try DIY Oil Change, Transmission Fluid and Differntial Fluid.
