If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks. (lemmy.world)

Edit: I snapped this after I found it. That's how I knew it was on so tight. It still took me a good few minutes to find it because I kept looking under the car. I wasn't expecting the filter to be on top.

Devils advocate: As a mechanic, if I tighten the oil filter too little, I'm liable for thousands in repairs. If I tighten the oil filer too much, some rando curses me but I don't hear it and continue sleeping like a baby. Or it comes back to me and I don't care if it's tight, Ive got the tools that make it easy.

So, sorry, not sorry. I'm gonna keep cranking those puppies down.

Also your PCV hose is starting to look pregnant.

where's my quarter? 🫴

Edit: To get it out, you can use one of those tools that has a band that wraps around the filter and tightens as you try to unscrew the filter. If you need more torque, use a long bar that can go over the handle of the filter tool. If you don't have a long bar, you might be able to use a wrench. Place the circular side around the handle of the tool, to create a longer distance between the filter and you push with your hand on this make shift lever to increase torque.

One time, I didn't have the filter tool, so I hammered a screw driver through the entire filter, creating a handle on each side which I could use to unscrew the filter. If nothing you try works, the ultimate piece to unscrew is that bare metal (no paint) piece that screws on. Rip everything of the filter off until you get to that piece, spray it with silicone lube, and see how you can twist it off.

Are we allowed to take out interference items?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OP offered $60 if someone can do it for them, so as long as you get the job done and everything reinstalled and running, sure, go for it.

Lmao yeah I just grabbed some oil filter pliers from the parts store. That did the trick. So many interference items just for an oil filter. I got maybe two degrees of rotation with each squeeze.
