I can pull my truck into my shop and have oil changed in less than 20 min tops. While drinking a couple beers. I suffer outside on the gravel. Throw down a piece of cardboard and slide under. But I don't mess with my mom's or wife's vehicles. They go to the Ford garage. Hate changing oil on that kind of stuff. F350's are way easier.

Put a lift in your garage. How old guys change their oil - none of that crawling on your back stuff. Have Fumoto valves and cup wrenches that fit each filter. Fit them hand tight, not gorilla tight. Easy Peasy. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/RF455BWh/IMG-2522.jpg)

I have never seen one of those. I had a bit of trouble on occasion until I got one of those strap wrenches. Napa gold for the win and a strap wrench.

I've spent a lot of money on tools to remove that filter! Drive a screwdriver through it and turn. Until you tear the filter in half, then you have a real mess. AGREED!!!! BTDT - had to throw away the tee shirt (was too oily to wash!)

No, but you went from needing to change the oil, and having an issue,
to having a disabled car.

Never knew a oil filter that could survive a large channel lock pliers

I've spent a lot of money on tools to remove that filter! Drive a screwdriver through it and turn. This^^^ has always been my last final resort when all else failed. yeah, and I have had times, when I did that long ago.... and I ended up with the bottom half of the filter completely torn off and the upper half still welded to the part you spun it onto the engine block.... those when I used cheap K Mart filters... when I was a dumb poor college student, working idiot jobs for minimum wages. That I started using Hastings filters, which had the 1/2 inch nut of them....and that ended that problem...that was back in the 1980s...

Filter must have been put on “farmer tight”!
My Dad taught me to do it that way. After contact, tighten as much as humanly possible with both hands while gritting teeth and then get a rag so you can get a better grip and see if you can tighten some more. Yeah, I always had to get an oil filter wrench to get them off. I can only assume that he must have had an oil leak from the filter at some point in his life. I was a way grown man before I knew that was wrong/unnecessary.

I tried the K&N once with the built in nut and it didn't seal without some torque. The nut is also large. Think I needed a 1" box end wrench.

I use either of these types. Those plyers won't work on any of the vehicles I own. Not enough room to get them on the filter.

I had not seen those before. Gotta be easier than the traditional type loop wrenches. Something always in the way,.
