ok here is my problem. i did some offroading up in a azusa while back and of course the engine got dirty and muddy. the problem i have is the oil filter drainage part is filled with dirt and has clogged the drain part. anyone has had this problem? any way to fix it?:shrug: it's pretty thick. i really didn't notice it. any help would be great.

Punch a hole in the top of the filter & let it drain into the motor before removing it. Give it an hour on a hot motor and there wont be any oil to spill out

Have you tried poking that drain with a nail or straight pin. I would try that and then give your baby a nice engine cleaning.:D

Unless you plowed through some wet cement shouldn't you be able to just to clean out the drain hole and cup area:shrug:

some people seem to lose common sense sometimes i see. :selfbonk:

Take a screw driver and break the dirt away, then stick a nail or something through it and unclog it! :waytogo:
