Depends on how good you are avoiding getting oil in your face vs how good you are reaching over the fender. From above on my XJ, from below on my truck.

Yeah the Brotella gets chewed up quick it seems, but I'm not revving it very high. I'm still a nerdling at the track, ha ha. I might get some Maxima or similar high quality stuff soon but ehhhh. But that 2400 ppm of Zinc.... O___O

You're going to need to remove the passenger side front wheel, brakes, knuckle, shafts, axle housing and entire a/c system to remove the oil filter. You'd better start now. It's going to be cold by the time you finish.
