I wouldn't care if it weren't such a PITA to get to the filter on my
truck. Unless I want to take the cover (for lack of a better term)
off and deal with those damn christmas trees that hold it on, you have
to get to the filter by opening a little door that is about 1-2" wider
in diameter than the filter itself. I have a set of strap wrenches
that *work* to get in there, but it's a pain. The nut is just easy.
