I tried all the tools and they all suck so I switched to this.

You can take this bitch off with a wrench, so I will pay a little extra.

ive done the screwdriver thru the oil filter many times and it works like a charm!

 

[TypeR?]

so did the op ever get the filter off and what did you do to get it off?????

 

[red98teg]

i work at a valvoline instant oil change. from below and integra its way easy to get to that stuff. but buy yourself a good band wrench, and that will work wonders. they are not that expensive either. but you can go more than one oil change on a filter, but i wouldnt do that too often.

Werd. Yea you guys need to be careful putting them on too tight. I'm pretty sure the newer motors don't have the oil filter adapters (correct me if I'm wrong) so if you do over-tighten them you're going to strip the threads and ruin you block. Yes that means kiss your motor goodbye.

I only use OEM mopar, but i did have one stick on me. a long screw driver in the center will break it free

+1 There are tools for this! And as has been posted already, make sure and oil up the filter before putting it on next time.

It is highly recommended to change the filter everytime you change the oil. Your car isn't going to break down from not changing the filter, but again it is highly recommended. A filter can only hold so much debris and you don't want to be ruining brand new oil by running it through a used filter everytime.
