Search "oil filter adapter" and for oil filter adapter rings replacement topics. There should be a bunch of info to wade through. You'll have to find the posts concerning your model year to narrow down what combo of tools will work. Mine happened to require one of the odd large hex sockets, knocked out it's socket and pressed in to the end of a box wrench but I'm sure yours will be different due to the year. Might as well replace the rings while your at it.

How about answering your phone? Or are you screening?
Later years were a torx, starting in maybe 95-96 or so. Earlier years was an allen or a bolt.

Hit the dealer and get a set of new o-rings and replace them while you've got it off. It's a common place to leak oil. I found the large o-ring is an odd thickness and an off the shelf o-ring was just a hair too thin to seal well.

It is a big Torx (T-60 to be exact) later on, about 95 or so as xjohnnyc noted.

There's only one, and it's BIG. Like stated above, make sure you go to the dealer and get the new o-ring set. It's 3 o-rings that replace the old smashed ones, and costs all of like $2.00.

Hm, I just did mine and taking to oil filter off gave me enough room for it to slide right out. Maybe they changed something.
