I use one of those slip around the filter jobs, a cheap one that I bent the handle on to get the clearance to spin the filter. This saves on the mess. -- Frank Clarici Toms River, NJ Bugeye Sprite 67
Hi Gang, A REALLY big pan if you've got the old paper element filters :). I always have a bear of a time getting that black o-ring thingy installed right so all the new oil stays IN the car. Also if
I am always perplexed by this oil filter discussion when it arises. I am not trying to brag or anything, but I have never had a problem removing, replacing, seating the original style filter. If the

I think I, (the one who started the thread), can agree with that. Today to take the oil filter off.(simple enough) Didn't have the little filter tool, tried my bare hands (that didn't work) and then
Hey, size matters... The craftsman PRO (not the cheap ones) are beautiful wrenches, and they are very long. I figure anyone whose body is small enough to fit into one of these tin cans probably is no
