Re: Noob Question about Oil Filter
Hey Crewzin - you said transaxle twice - I think he's changing the engine oil. 
I'd say buy a set of "rhino ramps" - most auto stores have them for $20. They're plastic, but can hold 2 tons and have the right angle for the PT - steel ones I had were too steep, and the body of the PT would've hit if I used them.
I use a "strap wrench" from Sears for the filter - It's a handle and a strip of rubber that works great.
A tip - I get 2 large sheets of cardboard - 1 I put the oil drain pan on, and the other I use to lie on my back on and slide under to get at plug & filter.
I agree - have a "veteran" oversee your first change, only maybe a beer instead of lunch...
