Oil Change: 3.8 Pacesetter Headers

[NOS2006]

Do you guys with the Pacesetter headers/y-pipe have any problem getting the oil plug out to do an oil change? I can't get that ***** out and it's bugging the **** out of me. I can't find any way to do a simple oil change anymore...

your y pipe isn't sitting in the right place then. sounds like it needs to be pulled up higher

Ehh, I think I figured it out.. I just have to wedge a piece of 2x4 in there to just slightly push the y-pipe back. Not sure why it's too close, but it's only by a hair.. blah.

mine is the same way. i just use an open end wrench instead of a socket and jam a metal file in there briefly for it to come out.

Yeah, definitely no way I'll get a socket in there. Open end for me, too! lol
