Can anyone tell me the exact size of the nut-shaped thing on the oil cap! I made a half-hearted attempt at changing my own oil, and did'nt simply b/c I can't get the damn filter out!! Looks to be at least a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" socket, but I've not got anything that big in my home toolbox. Lord knows it's probably metric, anyway, any help you guys could offer would be awsome. I'd like to change it before the we start getting snow out here!!

The answer per that thread is: 1 1/4 inch socket to remove the filter cover

I used a 32 mm socket at the direction of a Saturn Tech when I changed oil in my RL last week. It's a tight fit to get in the space provided, but I was able to change the filter even with my big hands.
