Changing the Oil Filter

[RedBarchetta]

Channel Lock sells a filter wrench (non-band type) that is purpose built for what you need. Summit Racing sells them.

Or (when removing) you can always drive a Philips-head screwdriver through the can and that usually works, too.

Also, put on some latex mechanics gloves and that will give you the grip to tighten it another 1/2 turn. They don't have to be on super tight.

Thanks Dean,
I'll check those two sources out.

I've been using a small non-slip mat to tighten. Perhaps I'm overtightening.

By the way...I took a tip from someone on this forum who advised to try a placing a freezer bag over the filter when removing it. What a great idea...No oil running down my arms or on the floor.

Thanks to whomever that was!
