Springtime I go through our cars A to Z. I drain the oil, try to remove the oil filter won’t budge I have every proper sized oil filter removal tool in my armory (thanks to my dad) nothing works. Yes, I was moving the filter in the correct direction (lefty loosely) even refilled with new oil and tried heating the engine nope. My dad was a heavy duty mechanic I’ve been around all kinds of equipment from a simple 1 ton car to 60 ton equipment. Recalling my experiences with dad I was thinking of going the messy route via the screw driver in the filter but decided to set an appointment with our family mechanic who does inspections, tire balancing, etc.

Never had this happen but helped others via the screwdriver method. I hope Dott is not the same. I admit my manly personality was bruised but I’m more of a man allowing someone to help.
