AMUSE kit owners...oil changes?
 
For all those Amuse kit owners out there (replica or authentic), do you have to remove the front bumper just to do an oil change? I am almost due for one and I am trying to figure out whether I can just take it to a quick oil change spot or if I have to budget out some time on my weekend to do it myself.

first off never take your car to those fast change oil places to include most dealers. I have heard many horror stories about them not changing the filter and or oil and charging you for it. also they could use regular oil vs synthetic to make a buck or 100. Take the time to do it yourself to ensure it is done right. as far as the amuse kit you do not have to take the bumper off there should be a cutout there that allows you to access the oil filter and drain plug. :tup:

the cutout is crazy tiny. you can dremel it a little bigger for easier access.

I might be but it's easier then cutting my bumper with a dremel

wow, that's a lot of work just to do an oil change. how about just making a larger hatch under the filter and plug area?
