Oil filter change

Life doesn't have to be hard

Most people over tighten their oil filter with a wrench. Hand tighten snug is sufficient to seat the rubber seal for no leaks.

The first tool actually works, you just have to have an IQ over 15 to use it.

Why would you tighten more than hand tight ?

Or you could buy a strap wrench!

It already exists, in many forms.

Don't know what car that is, but that is pure shit engineering to put the filter in that location and geometry.

They’re going to have the same problem removing the new filter. Hand tighten only 1/2 to 3/4 turn after gasket contact.

you don't need a filter wrench to put an oil filter on, only to take it off and if you need one for that it's likely put on too tight.

hmm..

What fucking idiot put that on that tight?

not a fan of those oil filter wrenches and thats a great tip with a band and a spanner to get that off. i use one of these affiliate link. it can be used for other things too, ive tightened plumbing parts with this and even open a stubborn glass jar lid 😂

so you dont have to wipe off the mounting base. just install the new filter after coating it with oil?

Dumb idiot that doesn't know how to use a tool...

If you are going to change your own oil, just buy the proper filter wrench. It will last a lifetime.

Sloppy

Just get a $10 rubber belt wrench

Why wouldn’t you prime the filter first…? 🤔🤔

First grab hold of it and turn. Usually a good twist will do it.

Remind me never to take my car to that hack

That’s just the starter pack 😂 full oil change loading… right?

Weird, I only put mine on hand tight.

In America we have strap wrenches, and gloves

What a piss poor way to change a filter

The first one works better when you use it right.

Or buy the wrench

You didn’t wipe it clean and lubricated it with old oil? Come on, you can put a little effort into it.

Clean car club, this site is for piss poor mechanics

I just use my hand.

👍🏻 Experienced

The belt is more expensive then the proper tool. Smh
