The filter sits at the front of the block, angled back at about 20-30
degrees. On mine, there's a plastic "guard" piece with a little round
"door" that you open to access the filter. It's a pretty crappy
design. I've had the oil changed at 3 places, 2 of which are Dodge
dealers. Only 1 place (a dealer) has managed to do it right.
The oil drain also sits almost directly above the skid plate, so a
small amount of oil tends to end up there if you're not careful, too.
Anyway, my next oil change will be done here in the garage and a
2-liter soda bottle and Fumoto valve will be standing by :)
When I do that, where should I be looking for grease fittings? I know
a lot of stuff is sealed, so I'd like to have at least an idea of what
I'm looking for so I know if I've missed something. This is an '00 CC
4x4 4.7L.
