i cant get the oil filter off.. i dont have a wrench...

is it supposed to be this tight?

 

I think the factory really tightens it down. I had to use a wrench to get the oil filter off, on my first oil change.

 

hmm.. i guess Dan (Hoppie) is on his way now with his wrench to bail my n00b *** out.. lol

but dayum.. you guys wouldnt believe how tight it is... maybe i'm just weak

 

It's probably from the factory like that like Brandon said, but don't tighten it that much when you put the new one on. Hand tight is just fine.

 

Is that what you've been calling me about?

If the wrench don't work just bite it.

 

UPDATE:

dan came by.. his wrench was too big.. didnt work.. he even tried to bite it and use his hands.. didnt even budge one bit... tried to by a wrench from napa but it's a piece of **** and it's not working...

so now my car is stuck.. with nowhere to go because i already drained the oil...

anybody wanna take a crack at loosening this SOB??? cuz lemme tell ya.. it's on there pretty good, just like my O2 sensor was on the downpipe pretty good, and like how the bolts on the heatshield when installing my downpipe were on pretty damn good too..

WHO THE HELL PUT TOGETHER MY CAR?

 

King Kong must've been doing it.

I'll come by at 6:15 PM.

So you DO have the wrench then?

 

DONE!! world record...

4 hours to change my oil....

 

i always change mine when my car is still hot... i have this 'ol school theory that metal expands with heat... thus making the filter ease off like butta! plus the oil drains out like water!....
^^ not good advice by the way


aloha from the summit of *-^-Mauna Kea-^-*

 

^^^You mean hot like you just did 5 laps around the track?

Hot enough to make your pipes glow red?

 

I think Peter's car was put together by Sumos cause first the friggin' o2 sensor now the Oilfilter. Good luck getting your Struts off when you get your coilovers.

 

nooooooo!!!! hahahaha..

damn sumo's

forgot to mention the 6 and a half hours to install my downpipe

 

^^^you're joking right???

 

i'm no joker.. 3pm to 9:30pm at 04sleeper's humble establishment

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Rappa in the makin....Go Gdogg!!!

My last oil change...should of let the oil cool down a little more than I did...hot to the touch but not scalding...it does drain out much faster as Greg mentioned...

I started with Dino, then Mobil 1, now Royal Purple...not much of a noticable change...
