We all know what a PITA the oil filter is. Has anyone used a remote kit to relocate it somewhere accessible? I'd pay gold for such a thing!

If its the fl2 then I think there is a tool to access it easier. Don't over tighten it. If you move it the it's bound to be in the way of something else. With practice it should become easier to to remove and not get so much oil down your arms, on the floor or in your hair.
Or there might be a member local that would accept said gold to be a oil filter remover.

I've got the lovely flexible ratchet spanner but still manage to make a mess. Think your last suggestion might win out! I'm getting too old for that **** ;-) Hard to get of the floor these days.
