Retrofit or Bust
Hey guys,
The other day my father was checking his fluids and noticed he was down on oil after just having it changed 2 weeks ago. He also checked the antifreeze and believe we found the lost oil. I did some research and it seems the remote oil filter adapter gasket is a common issue.
I'm planning to replace that gasket this weekend but I was hoping to get some tips on getting it done. I'm seeing some say pulling the power steering pump while others say the front diff needs to come down for access. Anyone ever done this that could offer some assistance so I can get this done smoothly?
