That Ferrari is sick.

But how the heck do you change those oil filters (picture # 15) without making a terrible mess?  
Also, why would they put crap-ass fram filters on a car that nice?

I beg to differ. Plus that fully restored Quattro coupe. Those guys are artist. I wonder how much labor was put into that. Surely had value to somebody to bring that thing back from the dead. By the looks of the pics it sat in a mud pit for 20 yrs…

Those are the OEM filters as equipped from the factory. Shops like that sweat every minute detail when it comes to those restorations. They will have at least one guy dedicated to doing research on each car’s history so the restoration is accurate.

Changing the oil filters isn’t too messy-- just unscrew them a little to let the oil drain back into the housing and a rag will catch the rest.

best way to do that is to take a screwdriver and punch a hole in the top. if you unscrew it oil will leak everywhere. its the same way in my RX-7(note stock engine when i get the car)
