Hi, I'm servicing my van myself and cannot locate the oil filter anywhere. Can anybody provide any assistance?

I'm looking for advice on the pro's and con's of undercoating. I'm going to power scrape the rust off the underside of my 2012 Connect. Then I am considering undercoating it. I don't have enough bubble gum to complete the job so I was wondering what the Connect Guru's have to say.

Depending on your local wood pricing I have had customers build our ultimate storage conversion kit (2 rear shelf units and 1 upper shelf unit) for as little as $60!!!! That’s a total of 5 shelving units. Compare this to $620 and up, for one of those ugly thin sheet metal single shelving units. You will immediately notice the curved shelf design sets my units apart from anything else available on the commercial market for the Ford Transit. Over the years I have found this design gives not only a touch of class but optimizes the space available while allowing a person or object to funnel through the cargo bay without hitting a protruding square corners of conventional metal shelves. Mix and Match Versatility The module design of my units allows for mix and matching depending on your needs. The upper shelving unit allows you to carry 8’ long material inside the overhead compartment, while the door mount folding shelves allow you to utilized the rear folding doors as storage space for tailgating. An optional peg board insert, mounted to the rear interior panels, can give you a convenient hanging spot along the interior van walls that would otherwise go unused, and when combined with a rear shelving unit provides additional wall space storage within the shelve itself. Best of all -these modules can be removed in minutes if you decide to reconfigure your Transit to an open cargo carrier!!! Additional Features Another unique, and at times very necessary, feature is our 12 volt outlet package. This pre assembled 12 volt receptacle allows you to provide power to the front and rear of each shelving unit. A great convenience if passengers in the rear seats need to plug into power. You can also have rear 12 volt power when the back doors are open (tailgating, relaxing at beach etc.). We truly believe the Ford transit is the perfect vehicle for our times. A versatile, reliable, economical travel platform that can do it all’ from hauling the family to soccer practice, to a large cargo carrier to haul a stove. It can even be used as a small RV/camper!!! www.DiyConversions.com
