I changed the oil on my parents Suzuki SX4. If you haven't changed the oil filter on that car, you're lucky. That car gets one filter every year. It's the worst filter location I have ever come across.
Sounds like a candidate for an Ultra used for multiple oil changes.
Correct. I installed an FU on it with AFE 0w30 on the last OCI. I plan on leaving that filter on for two OCI. My parents do maybe 7.5k miles per year.
Seriously though, check out some videos on the filter placement on that car. It's insane. You need small elf hands to get to it.
I checked out a video on YT about the oil filter location and how to remove/install it. It looks like a lot of fun......but, I wouldn't change it until the engine is cooled down!
BTW, I would NEVER use the same filter for multiple OCI's! But, that's just me.
