Change the oil filter on one of the first generation Hemi's and you'll think that Cummins is a walk in the park.

When they changed the frame in 2014, the crossmember under the motor got wider so no more dropping the filter straight down, now you have to pull it out the side while tipping it so it spills oil. You can buy a cap to cover the old filter so it doesn't spill.

Same deal on my 2006 Ram 3500 4x4 I fill the new filter up(it takes 4 or 5 times filling it and letting the oil soak in until it won't take anymore ) before installing it to make sure of no dry starts also Last edited by Cab_Burge; 11/05/21 10:36 PM.

The engineer that come up with that idea should be punched squarely in the jaw! If you have chick hands it might not be bad but if you're anybody that's anywhere near an average size person forget about it it's a pain!
