    oil filter should be an easfy find, cant describe the exact location pero sa bandang likod siya ng engine sa ilalim, AFAIK.
    that is why, i leave it to the experts (the mechanics). i don't enjoy the feel of oil on my arms as much as i used to.
    and i can't lie down under the car anymore, either. too fat.
    i'm getting old...

    there is also a bit of a challenge in reaching the oil filter. one good thing is that the fuel filter is easily accessible, unlike some cars i have owned. the manual has a cable-type clutch, by the way.

    it's one of the lightest cable clutches i have ever used.
    and, it never gave up in the 13 years we had her.

    No.

    Do not attempt to crank the engine by using the head of the crankshaft pulley bolt.

    You are at risk of shearing the bolt head off (mapuputol = malaking problema)

    Try putting the car in gear (4th) and do a push and pull. Best done when you have an assistant doing the pushing and pulling while you check if the engine pulleys are turning.

    And I would assume that this models engine is already fuel injected. Drain your tank, and put in fresh fuel. After sitting there for awhile, the fuel lines maybe;

    * empty
    * gummed up
    * or blocked by deposits

    If this model sentra has an electric fuel pump, do not attempt to start the engine right away. Turn the key up to ON position only, this will let the fuel pump prime the fuel lines. Do it a couple of times, then attempt to start the engine.

    If it starts and runs, then you are good. If not, try enlisting the help of a good mechanic to sort out the gremlins. If you opt to do this yourself, google is your best info source.

    yes, it is fuel injected.

    im planning on disassembling the fuel lines to clean them up, and maybe the gas tank if im not lazy...

    im also going to remove the fuel rail and clean the injectors, ive done that on my altis before so i hope theyre similar...
