Great video of advise like always. Thank you for the videos.
Hi Shane… the cardboard idea to prevent oil draining on exhausts/engine components works well. may I add an idea to your wonderful series…. I have been using regular Aluminium foil for my oil Filter changes for some time now and it's a breeze. You can shape it as you choose… funnel like at one end to ease drainage and shape up any edges/sides to prevent spillage. It is so versatile and cheap and also highly effective. I hope this helps my friend… loving the channel by the way : )
punch a screwdriver or something through the filter and you got the fix 😉
If you have a really tight filter and your strap keeps slipping try putting some course valve grinding paste on the filter this gives a good grip surface for the strap both metal or fabric
Ahh yeah. So simple it evades us at first. The dusty stack of filter wrenches, gadgets and a big spike in the box of oil filter "no more's"… in this vid, you saved the new guys a ton of wasted coin if they'll follow the suggestion — a simple strap wrench with socket opening, heavy-duty nylon strap at least 2 inches wide for the grip surface. Maybe ten bucks, lots of them under different names, and common. Never had one fail on ANY filter, even truck and heavy equipment spin-on's. It gets stubborn, you just get a half-inch drive flex handle on it, wrap it snug as you can with some room to rotate, and put the arm on it. Well done.
Wow, never seen a strap wrench before. Awesome.
Where can I buy one of those strap filter wrenches?
Excellent tips, thank you, Shane! The strap wrench looks awesome and it is so easy to make one.
awesome, used a different strap wrench for years . But I like that one you used there, looks like it can get into smaller spots
Thanks for the tip Shane, one of these wrenches is going to be added to my tool box.
hey i have a request if you can i own a 99 road glide with fuel injection the magneti mareli or what ever its called was wonder if you could do a video showing the ins and outs and disassembly and assembly of one pls it would would help out a ton
Pretty solid advice. However, I would disagree with wanting to place a strap wrench closer to the threaded end. The standard "filter cup" essentially grips the filter on the very end, precisely where filter manufacturers put the flats. Placing a strap wrench on those flats is just as effective as near the base (and often times the only easily accessible part of the filter). The domed end of the filter is extremely resistant to crushing because of the disc of material which caps the end. And because of the cylindrical structure of the filter, rotational torque is equally spread along the entire length of the filter. One runs into trouble while using filter pliers or cheap band wrenches, which do not apply torque evenly and have a tendency to buckle. Once one of those tools puts a dent in the filter then all bets are off! It's for this reason that I prefer OES or OEM filters — specified tools indicated in the WSM will fit every single time.Still, solid advice all around! Loving the series!
Superb. I have a strap tool like that and it's saved my bacon a number of times. Great vids!!
I like the strap filter remover… I'm going to get one immediately! Thanks for the great tips!
NO OIL FILTER WRENCH????
take a big screwdriver and drive it thru the side of filter with a hammer and twist filter with screwdriver. i done this many times.
If someone could do a video on a crappy 125cc, how to change the oil filter, that would be great!
Hi Shane. I wonder why they don't just make all oil filters with the nut in the middle. It would save us so much work.
Tin foil. Better than cardboard for sure.
So what is the torque spec for an oil filter? The only one that I've seen is in the service manual of a 2002 Dodge Intrepid and it was 12 ft lbs (144 in lbs). I've been using that spec on all my cars and it's been great! No leaks and comes off nicely.
