i'm changing my oil and i cannot get the friggin oil filter off. i put it on myself last time and it seems i've weakened since then because i cannot get this thing off....anyone know anything i can do to get it off?

Have you tried one of those oil filter wrenches?

i was going to but i don't own one. i know my uncle does but he's not home. i went by his house and looked in his garage but i couldn't find it

One of those does the trick for me every time.

AUTOZONE MIGHT STILL RENT OUT TOOLS......

if my car had oil in it i'd go check lol... i'm gunna take my grandmothers car and find out i think

Stick a scredriver through the center of the oil filter (all the way through side to side) then you can use to to turn the filter.....just make sure you get it all the way through at a strong spot so it doesn't just shred like a tin can

BETTER OFF GETTING THE CORRECT TOOL TO DO IT..

ehhhh up to him....I have done it many times this way

PAUL=MARK=FIRE=MARK LIGHTING HIMSELF ON FIRE.....UNDERSTAND THE PICTURE

lmfao, I am assuming Randy is smarter than Mark when it comes to mechanics

NELSON=RANDY=CUTTING HIS FINGER OFF= 4 FINGERED MAN

lmfao... well i got it to come off thanks to msmonte and nelson and there screwdriver but i did cut my finger on the shredded tin can it became but not completely off. thanks for the info guys. took me 15 minutes to change it last time... took me about 3 hours to do it this time because of that god forsaken piece of aluminum.

WTF Josh?

I'd use the screwdriver if you can get leverage.

HE DID CUT HIS FINGER

LIGHTER FLUID....FTW!!!!!

I have never used the screw driver method. All I have seen was them rip through the filters.

Tellin ya, my grandfather taught me that trick as a kid......biggest thing is to place it correctly and it works like a charm.

hahah nice work randy way to listen to gramps

Ive always been able to just use the wrench i dunoo..

I cursed it too, I'm like he's gonna cut himself

We now have 2 do-it-yourself guys who injured themselves by learning from 2 elderly members.

How many more can we injure, lol
So far

PSquare 1 Mark 1
Nelson 1 Randy 1

thats why i dont listen to nelson or anyone else

lol the oil filter would still be on if it wasn't for nelson...




but i think it's infected haha. it's kinda red and puffy .... fail

haha. yea but i odnt think mark woulda been that bad if he wasnt sucha portagee

Coulda used the wrench to get it off.

woohoo glad u got it off!

those don't always work. I had a case with my car that whatever lube shop put the filter on it was way over tightened. The only way to get it off was to use the screw driver method.
