2.3 Liter oil filter
Could someone explain the oil filter in the 2.3? I assume there is a resusable canister that houses the filter element. What is the procedure for changing the filter in this engine. Thanks.

exactly the same as it is an onlder style system....
you just remove the cap, pull out the old filter, slide the new filter in the housing, and reuse the rubber o-ring on the cap unless a new one is provided with the filter.

The O-rings come with the filter if you buy it at the dealer.
When the 2.3 canister filter first hit the street you had to buy each part separately, but now the entire kit costs less than the filter did in 2003/04.
