Best answer !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My engine isn't sitting a pallet in my driveway. I know.... it's weird
Why not?
You weirdo, everyone knows that's how you get the best performance!

Clearly a man of great experience
I really appreciate you posting this. After trying an oil filter cap, an adjustable tri-grip tool and large pliers (your negotiator), I watched your video and went and bought a pipe vise grip wrench. Worked great and easy to do.
Glad I was able to help..don't forget to subscribe
You have described every action... TY,I've tried all before seeing a couple ideas you explained in video. Last resort.. I hope it works,TY again,best video so far.
Hurry up I'm freezing and need to get it off
JorRob001 same
Lmao it rained on me yesterday when I was struggling with the oil filter for 3 hours.
@@saulreyna72 bro I've been out here it's 100 outside for 2 hours and still can't get it off it's so frustrating I really just want to let it sit there
Pedro Mata in this heat??? Oh naw I would’ve taken it to the shop bc I tried to take off the oil filter first but I couldn’t cause I didn’t find a wrench so I took it to the shop lmao
@@saulreyna72 damn I should have done the same thing, first I couldn't get the drain bolt off because of how messed up it was I bought a new one and then couldn't get the damn oil filter off and yeah it's hot af but thank the lord I get it off Iol
when you put new filter on. smear some oil onto the sealing ring. forms a seal and makes it easier to get off next time. only tighten it hand tight.
Exactly
Great tips, but the additional problem is access and restricted leverage...
Also he is applying back assward, lol. In hot rod with quintessential headman's. Intentional overtightening of K&N
Why do alleged professionals at a Jiffy lube treat a long time customer of the caraholic female persuasion with such blatant derision.? Because my famous hot rod is beautiful? I know more about design and function? I put ten years and five car magazines knowledge to work via reading applying after loving and owning this one 26 years. See Justin Timberlake & Timberland's 2011 Carry On? Or Fast & Furious 4, Hot Rod Magazine, Summit PST, Cold Case, etcetera. Why hate such beauty and perseverence through poverty? Why Haters misogynist, and fools???
"yo, Adrienne"
Scrolled to far to see this haha

you just made my day saying “my negotiator “hahaha I can’t stand stuck oil filters!
This was a helpful video - I had tried a few ways, but in the frustration of the moment hadn't thought of some of the others. Thanks!
Glad I was able to help..thanks for watching and dont forget to subscribe
I love the way he speaks.
thanks for the video - I have my filter is in tight quarters - tucked low behind the engine = once I took a hacksaw frame and attached a long bolt to the tip of it - and hammered the bolt through the filter - then this gave me enough leverage & torque to twist off that bugger. Kind of like the screwdriver method but with an offset and longer reach. Kept the tool I made in case I need to use it again :)
Very helpful video - thank you! :) I used a screw driver and hammer to remove the stuck oil filter. Thank you very much again! :)
Awesome..glad I was able to help..don't forget to subscribe
Many helpful tips thank you. I have a filter on an ATV that sits horizontally and very difficult to get a tool around it. I'll try the lubricating oil tip for starters. Cheers
Glad I was able to help..dont forget to subscribe
One way that worked for me was to put a piece of sand paper in your hand to use as a grip. It makes it much easier to twist off.
I used a big pipe wrench. Worked great, thankfully I had room to maneuver it.
Awesome! Don't forget to subscribe
Excellent video. Thank you! Here are two similar methods.
Method 1: Drill some small holes around the outside ring of a metal cap-type tool. Then put the cap tool on the filter end. Next use self-tapping sheet metal screws through the drilled holes. Try to get at least 5 or 6 attaching the cap to the filter. Finally put your 3/8" drive on the end of the cap tool for filter removal.
Method 2: If Channel Locks can only fit on the end, squeeze with one hand and use a large adjustable wrench to turn the Channel Locks.
you saved me a ton of frustration. thanks
thanks for watching
another way i did this morning was to take a glove and place it around the filter and use a ring compressor (steel band type) and tighten it down, really really tight and it should come off with a jerk or two.
Thanks for the video. I didn't know that there were vise-grip style filter wrenches. The rubber strap wrench is what I usually use but it's not working this time. I called the local Oreilly Auto Parts store and they have one. Cheep too.
Jeff Rogers they work pretty well..unless the filter is stuck on there really tight
One method that you did not mention that I found useful was to take a clean heavy duty rubber glove, and wrap it around the filter, using the glove as a grip rag. It makes removing the filter by hand easy.
Thanks for the tip! And thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for the video! We tried my friends van oil filter with one of those rubber strap ones and it broke the strap T_T so we ended up just putting the new oil in(i know a waste) so she could drive home. totally going to get one of those oil filter vice grip ones if we can find one and try again!
Channel locks worked for me-- big ones. Just worked vertically because there was no horizontal access...
I tried using all methods, then bought the Bogert tool and still no luck. watched your video and sprayed wd40 where the filter meets the truck like you said and it came right off. I cant believe i didnt try that before. thank you
Glad it worked..don't forget to subscribe
What do you do when the filter is only accessable from the end?
If nothing I mentioned in the video works for u..then last resort would be air hammer..if u dont have one..then a chisel would work..its going to take a while but it will work
Negotiator LOL - love it
Love da Klown! Good garage info. I'm subscribing.
Thank u sir
very nice video man, i had one on that the dealership put on that wouldnt come off for sh*t....i tried everything, then i got fed up and stabbed it with a screwdriver and turned it off. Worked like a charm....but it was a little messy.
Glad i was able to help ! Dont forget to subscribe if u havent..thanks :)
I was panicking that I couldn’t get the oil filter off. After watching your video i used the negotiator method and it worked for me. Thanks and you saved me a lot of headache.
Thank you Mr klowney, the screwdriver thru the filter method worked, you da man!
Thank you for watching..i will see if i can figure out how to post a video response
I’ve worked 16 hours on this and it’s still locked on. I’ll try a pipe wrench tomorrow! Valvoline oil stop is the one who put it on too Fkn tight Wish me luck. I need my truck to pull my boat. Prayers y’all
Good luck
@@klowny1969 I got the son of a batch with channel locks and my strong bro n law. Next week I’m taking my boat out! I hope.
Hammer a screw driver straight threw the filter all the way.. And twist it off. I did this yesterday and it worked.. Screw driver and hammer
why does it matter if you scrunch or put a hole in your oil filter?? If youre taking it off youre most likely changing it so why would it matter if it gets damaged?
He probably means if you want to check it and see if it's still usable. It shouldn't matter if you know how often to change it based on previous experience
theyre like $7 why wouldnt you change it? logic
+copedipper25 I would change it. But do you really think there aren't cheapasses out there trying to save their pennies over an oil filter?
metroboomin i guess, im a mechanic and ive seen 3 cases where a customer comes in complaining of an oil leak and i found that the oil filter has rotted and started leaking. When asked about the last time it was changed they all said they dont change the oil they just add and theyve been doing that for years lol
copedipper25 - Once you put a hole in your oil filter, then you MUST complete the job right then and there. The car can no longer be started or moved. If you do not jab a hole, you can still operate the vehicle till you are better prepared to complete the oil filter removal.
I used the cap option without success. Versus going back to the store. I figured I could drill a hole in the side of the removal cap the screw in a sheetrock screw through the hole and into the oil filter. This gave me the leverage of the cap and prevented the cap from slipping. Mine was still very hard to turn so after an inch of movement, I just drilled a second screw through both the cap and filter and put in a second sheetrock screw. This worked great and with very little oil leak!
I was afraid just a screw driver would tear up the filter and leave a big mess. Problem solved!
Awesome solution! Thanks for watching!
My stuck filter ! Use belt type, piece of pipe 18 inch long. Put belt around top of filter and use pipe against car fram and belt type handle .Just a little at a time .Left is loose boys !
Awesome!! Don't forget to subscribe
Thanks man needed this info, I used one with the chain on my riding mowere now its damaged and won't come off.
Thanks for watching!
As far as tools, only have the strap wrench and no money/time to buy the vice grips. I had some WD40 and some sandpaper. Sandpaper gripped well, but I had to use the WD40 to get it to break loose. I don't consider myself particularly strong, just determined. I've used the screwdriver method before, but it is extremely messy.
Great video, it has me confident. I'm gonna tackle this problem right now 1999 Sebring coupe. Thanx
Johnny GT-CA13 thanks for watching
It worked beautifully. Thanx again! I'll elaborate later......gotta peel off like a Bandit!
Johnny GT-CA13 lol nice
hm, I would recommend also for DIYs, to glue a metal filter removal cup to the filter using some crazy metal to metal glue (there are many of them and you likely have one in household), let it time to set as glue instruction recommends ( glue I used took a night to harden ) then unscrew it. Usually it is a combination of stuck filter and very bad accessibility, so this method helps both, given you have wrench and extender. Your filter cup will be in trash bin along with you filter, but this is like $4-5, so kinda cheap price for a win.
I have always had good luck with larger channel locks on the filter in my 2011 Silverado, hand tight when reinstalling and a few twist past hand tight.
I used a cam operated filter wrench from autozone, but the 3 arms bent out and messed up the end of the filter, so I put the floor jack under the ratchet that was attached to the wrench to hold it hard against the filter and that worked. This wrench was made in China and the arms are soft steel. No good. I have ordered a set of cam type wrenches from a company called Lisle(made in USA). I think the cam type wrench is the way to go. I have 5 or 6 filter caps and they ALL have slipped. Check out this Lisle co.
I could'nt take it off so tried using a leather belt and a screwdriver thru the middle for leverage.Bent the screwdriver with no movement. Last thing I used was a large pipe wrench, that did the trick.
Awesome!
My husband is trying to get the canister off of fuel water separator on his inboard. He said it won t come loose and it just keeps spinning. How would he do that? He used all those wrenchs but says she r just keeps spinning.
My filter was so stuck that i tried several methods, and here's what I eventually did: Drill a small hole in the lowest point to drain, and another hole in the tip of the filter to let the air in so it drains faster. Once it's drained enough, figure out the best angle to jam a screwdriver into it, and drill the entry hole (I did it roughly half way along the filter). Ram or hammer a thick screwdriver into it (right through if you can). Twist. The amount of effort is much less than you think it will be, once you've got the torque of the screwdriver acting on it. Messy but it worked. Happy twisting :]
My plastic cap kept slipping. The oil filter was a tiny bit too small. After several failed attempts at padding it with leather and rubber gloves, I used epoxy and fiberglass and bonded the plastic cap to the filter. Thankfully the filter had the course, grippy end. Of course, I kept the ratchet extension rod in the cap, in case the epoxy slipped down into the receiver. It worked like a charm.
What sort of plastic cap you writing about? Is it like the filter cap/sockets they sell everywhere?
Having room is the biggest impediment in many cases
Yes, but you can still do some of these tricks with limited space..this video was for demonstration purposes..thanks for watching and commenting..please don't forget to subscribe 😉
Damn i knew i forgot something lol
Thank you my friend... trying to get my oil filter off my Ford 7.3 diesel. It's on there good. I stabbed a large screw driver through it to turn it, but no luck!
A strap wrench and chain wrench just crunched up the filter. Not much room for channel locks on my Ford Ranger. So, I used a 17 inch long flat blade screwdriver with a 3/8 inch wide tip like I as going to flip a pancake. The rubber gasket being the pancake. Just use a hammer to tap the screwdriver on the can right along the rim where the gasket is until it crushes the gasket and filter can inward toward the center axis. Did this for a small section about 1-1/4 inch long and then tapped off axis with the screwdriver to make it rotate. It's stuck because of the gasket. Just separate the gasket to reduce the removal torque needed. This was easy. I did drain the filter with a small hole beforehand and I jacked up the truck a bit to get more room. The actual tapping took less than 5 minutes.
awesome video. not just showing one way he does it, but everyway he can think of, cheers
Thank you..don't forget to subscribe
Doesn't work at all. Have tried all tricks and tools and it still won't come off. Any other ideas. Also think of the space you have when its in the car and your trying to remove. There is not much space
lol I did it with a belt
. works real well
nice
Blue channel locks mine were red but they did the job i used some master blaster dont know if it helped but is off!
I screwed it off with those blue channel locks, poked holes in it but it came off eventually

I think I figured out your problem, you keep indicating a clockwise motion to loosen the can👀
Thanks for plugging the Bogert Aviation Oil Filter tool! You did a good job of describing all the usual ways of removing an oil filter. Bogert Aviation has a couple of videos about their oil filter tool and the new version called the TALON. Thanks Again.
When all else fails.....pipe wrench

Yea well, unfortunately many modern motors recess the filter so the only way is the first tool the presenter here dislikes.
And your gods forbid if that filter has frozen in place and will not budge.
Who are the geniuses who design these crappy systems?

Yes! Mine is set very deep with only vertical access. It’s driving me crazy! I need to buy a socket to fit I think, so I can hammer it. I was hoping not to have to buy a different socket for every filter
what size are those vice grips?
Thank u..the ole screwdriver trick is awesome!! Check out my channel..and if u haven't already, u can subscribe..thanks again!
Very good well done
Thank you for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😉
generally a band wrench will do the job but you cannot always get to it with a band wrench. never waste your money on a rubber strap wrench.
Thanks for the tip using the channel locks. I had a stuck filter on my Liberty and the strap wrench had already deformed it and put a hole in it!
+Streeters Garage thanx for watching
uh huh yeah all that stuff will work great when you got an oil pan thats not attached under the vehicle surrounded by a bunch of crap. 03 camry pissing me off right now. the corolla and matrix from same era is isolated from any obstructions, so easy

My vice grip wrench has never failed me. Works like a charm every time. 4 bucks well spent
If there is room a heat gun to the plate with the holes should cause it to expand so you could tap loose with a punch. Note before oil filters owners changed the oil often. If your cars air filter is clean or new a oil change every 3000 miles will keep your engine clean.
Before oil filters?
Thank you! For those of you who dont have a specialty filter removal tool, the screwdriver trick worked great for me. Stuck the screwdriver straight through (not as easy as butter if you catch my drift...) and turned.. of course this scrapped my engine oil filter but the replacement cost me 7$ so it was well worth it..
You should replace your oil filter when you replace your oil
Yo, you forgot step #1, "Remove the engine from the vehicle." Ha-Ha! The BFS (Big Freaking Screwdriver) through the filter housing will get any of those hard to grab filters off. You're only fighting a rubber seal that seals the filter to the engine block. If you install too tight or leave the filter on too long, this rubber seal can fuse to the block but will let go of the oil filter body with enough torque, then just peel off the old seal from the block.
Nope greek..i guess i have a new york accent..lol

The screwdriver method is best for stuck filters in tight spots imho. Just used it today. Tried caps but they wouldnt fit (filter was a jiffy lube special, cheap pos that was a 2.2mm smaller diameter than the one my vehicle uses) and all wrenches but there just wasnt room for them. Punched through with the screwdriver after spraying with wd40 and off it came.
If you got that much room to work, and can't get your filter off, just pay a mechanic.
This is for demonstration purposes :) don't forget to subscribe
I had the same issue on my motorcycle. Was using the 'rubber' type wrench shown in the video, a socket on the end of the filter (filter was a K&N and had a 17mm socket but stripped it), and a metal-type oil filter wrench that was sliding due to trying to turn so hard.
Ended up using a little bit of PB Blaster on the filter like in the video and instantly allowed me to turn using my metal oil filter wrench. WD40 might do it, but PB Blaster is a world of a difference in penetration and highly recommend.
Usage of Channel locks worked right away for me. I believe it's the best thing. The tools, what they sell at auto stores (which are shown at the beginning for 1st 2 min) worked for my on a worst way, they either slide, hard to operate in the tight space or making holes in the filter and all the oil is spilling on you. In fact, if you damage the filter, you can't drive the car, like asking for a help or making any planned trip, you will be stuck. Channel locks have a wider grip and if you have a tight space, you can have a good grip from the bottom of the filter.
I don’t got a ratshit, but I Do have a ratchet
Man nothing of these works on my MDX. Got to take to neighborhood store. Oh what a waste of time. :-((
Thanks. I managed in the end, with a large hose clamp around the filter, with a piece of inner tube rubber wrapped around first, then hit the tight hose clamp with a long pipe and hammer such that the bolt of the clamp was on the tangent, like you speak of using a chisel. The chisel I tried against the hose clamp did not work.
It would have been quicker for me to drive to an auto place spend the money on the vice grips type tool and try that, but anyway the clamp and pipe hitting it eventually worked, with multigrips to finish it off. Cheers.
thank you so much !!!!!
Took me an hour of messing with a K&N Wrench filter before i saw the screw driver idea, and STILL had to push and pull on it for about 15 minutes...never experimenting with K&N again. haha
Man I’ve tried everything to get one off that’s on there and now have the filter destroyed
Get a chisel and chisel the rest of it off..don't forget to subscribe
I had a chain wrench and it destroyed the filter never buying one of those again!
I just put a screw driver right thru both sides... Always works
The Sears Craftsman Auto-Adjustable universal oil filter wrench is a great product (and much cheaper than many of the other wrenches). Had an oil filter that was collapsed using a strap-type oil wrench. This wrench can fit even a collapsed filter housing, grip it and using a socket wrench, develop as much rotational torque necessary to remove even stubbornly stuck filters.
I managed to use the "negotiator"! Only had enough room to move the filter 1/8 inch after putting some wd40 at the lip. That was enough to allow me to use the skinny tool you said only works 25% of the time. I was way more careful to only tighten the new filter until it stopped and then another 3/4 turn which I was able to do by hand. I'll watch for any leaks next time I start up my boat. Cheers to you for offering up a bunch of solutions.
promotosport1 awesome! thanks for watching and commenting
thank you so mucho, good information. my problem is a fuel/water separator filter inside boat motor down below in a hard to get space. the filter is so tight, a buddy and i push at the same time with no luck. since there is gasoline inside the filter its more dangerous, but i have disconnected the battery. great video.
yeah that sux..becareful and thanks for watching and commenting :)
Came here to say Thank you!! I've used many tricks before but couldn't get the filter off my ATV this year for anything. I have a filter socket, but the corners got rounded out on the filter. Tried the strap wrench and that was a joke. Tried the screwdriver method and it just ripped through the filter. Went and got a larger channel lock pliers and that worked like a champ. Plus I tried the Dewalt channel lock pliers, which have a different adjustment from other pliers, and I really like them. Thanks again!!
Awesome glad I was able to help you out..don't forget to subscribe

i love you man , i was a couple of hours fighting with that piece of shit , and your screwdriver method , that safe my live jajajaj thanks bro
Glad I was able to help!
Didn't even think of using the channel-locks. Thanks buddy, saved me some headache!
1. NEVER EVER use those a hit filter cups. 2. do not drive a screw driver through the filter. all you need if a filter wrench can't do the job is brake cleaner.. simply spray the filter and or your cloth shop drag. take said rag and it will grab at the filter with the strength of Thor. use your muscle and it will come loose
+John Gregory hahahaaa you cant be serious!!!
+klowny1969 not generally lol but it works
I just tried the stab with a screw driver and hammer! Was hard work and poked a few holes in it but got there in the end!! Thanks for the great video!!!
Awesome glad i was able to help
Thanks for the help, I had to revert to the Screwdriver through the filter method. For those that try this, get a durable screwdriver, or I reverted to a solid steel hole punch. Took a bit of muscle, but worked!
Chris Spriegel awesome..thanks for watching
Thx, you've covered all solutions
I'll follow last one because I broke the filter only top is there
Awesome!
Aa yyoooo
I saw a guy put a folded sheet of paper then used the filter remover you showed first and it worked like a charm
