Removing Oil Filter
Went to change my oil with my brand new oil filter remover adapter and guess what, that 6 inch wide adapter did not fit between the end of the filter and the exhaust manifold (less than 3 inches). Can't rely on the shop guys to know what they are talking about.A perfect solution, channel locks made especially for oil filters sold at Home Depot.Fit perfectly and just the right size tool.I laughed when on the board I noticed I was not the only one saying WTF over and over.
