Replace oil filter

[karsten doering]

Hello,

I have a 3.0 6v Alphard from 2004 and I'd like to change my oil and for that also the filter. The filter ist hardly to reach. Does anybody has experience with changing the filter without remove the coolant unit and the fan? Or is it necessary. I would appreciate a hint. Thanks guys.
