If you are changing the oil and filter, what's the issue with the belt??

PS: can anyone recommend a  good synthetic oil. I've got ZDDP to add- so

zinc content is 

a moot  point....



CJ,  Even if the rear mount has failed the oil filter location in
relation 
to the rear mounting bracket won't change.  It all moves  together.  You

should be able to clear the bottom of the filter with any  belt though
some 
"heavy duty" belts I have had took a little pulling to get out  and a
little 
pushing with the blunt tip of a prybar or a big flat tip  screwdriver to
get 
past the tight spot.  So no, you shouldn't have to  remove the filter to

change the belt.
 
For what it is worth I use Mobil I extended service oil as well as  
non-synthetic straight 30 and 40 weight HD oils rated SL--no SM oils.
