Question : Oil filter adaptor

[Joelfke]

This may have been answered before but i couldnt find it

On my 04 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.4L OHV(and others ive done oil changes on) the filter housing is such that it ALWAYS makes a mess, all over the oil pan and subframe and surrounding areas. Is there a filter adaptor for these motors?

go to a junkyard and find an adapter off of a 95-96 beretta with a 3100. get the big banjo bolt too. the gasket and o ring is like 5 bux at the dealer. other wise 95-98 luminas have a plastic shield that is a drain channel. otherwise brake clean does wonders

no clearance issues?

The one from a 2.8 or 3.1 Gen2 engine works also. If you need measurements for clearance just let me know, I'm rebuilding a 3400 and have a 3.1 adapter on the shelf.

do you need the adaptor? or are you willing to part from it?

this is one of the first things i put on the grand am when i bought it 5yrs ago. after coming from the beretta with one i went out and got one for the GA
