what great trick. I spent 45 min sweating and pissed then found this video. it worked. all i had was twine but i wrapped it around a few times so it was thicker and it worked.
Thank you so much! Your video made perfect sense when I placed the strap over the oil filter. I felt like a genius when I took the oil filter off using this method!
This video saved my day, I was changing my car oil when I tried to unscrew the oil filter i was stuck,i did exactly as the video shows, and it was like magic, the oil filter came out like butter.Thanks man a million thanks
Dude I was struggling so much even went and got and oil filter remover and it didn't work and came across this and it freakin worked dude your the man 👍🤘 thanks
Thanks! Using a strap didn't work for me cause strap just kept sliding round and round the oil filter as I turned it but then I remembered I had a tow bar chain so I made a slip knot with the chain and pulled the end through the wrench and proceeded with the rest of your steps and my oil filter came off! You are a life saver!
I was skeptical about this at first. Did this on Christmas morning when all the part stores were closed. 2 wrenches and a dog leash later, I got off. Thanks for the tip.
Want to thank you, as you just saved me a trip to the auto story to buy a tool for that job as it was more then hand tight and not really accessable. Thank you it worked lurk a charm with a snap ratched strap
WORTH IT IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE GOING TO THE STORE. I definitely was skeptical on this, but the comments gave me faith in this method. Thankful for this video and positive comments on this because it worked, and I am very proud of myself for trying it.
Thank you, sir. I had the idea of something like that but you put it all together for me and thank you for the way you made your video. Some people like to hear themselves talk and they don’t get to the problem/solution. You were quick, to the point, thorough And very helpful….thank you, sir.
Damn bro this is the only thing that worked for me. I was so pissed almost dropped the wrench on my face a couple times 😂 lol but when I finally saw the filter turning 😅 the heavens opened up lol. Thanks 🙏
NASA, hire this guy!!! Like everyone else, I was skeptical, but willing to try it before the infamous screwdriver technique. In my case, the filter was so difficult to even get to with a ton of 4WD crap in the way. Luckily, I had a piece of nylon strap I hadn’t thrown away yet. Thank God! It worked with nearly zero effort after wrestling with a filter wrench for longer than I care to admit.
That’s how it’s supposed to be done. But, when you have dumbass kids doing oil changes at dealerships and quick lubes, this is when you get the over tightened ones. Morons.
Filter Wrench broke, Screw driver method not a chance went through the housing, chisel and hammer all failed over 2 hours, this is the only thing that worked 10minutes, initially i tried with normal rope but was not so good( may be would of worked) it is better and easier with flat braid) fortunately had some . Thanks for sharing.
Does anyone else have ideas of or tried to glue a nut on top for easier removal? And is it better to add some oil into filter before installation, or simply letting the pump do it's thing at pre-start enough?
After my filter wrench broke and the screwdriver method failed, this method, right here, was the only thing that worked. Thank you for sharing!
Man you saved me so much hassle😂🙏my wrench wasn’t cutting it. I sure as hell wasn’t jamming a flat head through it.
So you’ve seen that clip 😂😂
Not only was this Genius, but the Xtra Swag included by dropping the wrench at the end wuz a good touch lol

I use k&n filters now they come off using a wrench a lot easier
Thank you my guy! Worked perfect! I was actually glad that i lost my filter tool, cause now i know this cool trick!
You are what legends are made of, works like a charm, clean, no damage.

I can’t believe it but damn it worked like a charm

Kinky! 😜
Sweet thanx for the tip,No more stabbing screwdrivers through my filters
This hack saved us fr 😂😂 we were finally able to take off our oil filter after 30 minutes of struggling so thank you 🙏

Best tip ever. Mazda made it inpossible to change the filter yourself. This helped me out big time!! 👍

That’s funny 😂 hope you didn’t drop it on your face tho.
Yes thank you. Worked great for me.
Now I can get my ASE badge! 🏅👍🎉
Worked like a charm!!
Look, round here we despise the proper tools or PPE.
I owe you a beer for that one!
You’re doing gods work, will only ever use this method in the future, worked like a charm
I wish things like this or more common. Absolutely love this video! Ppl underestimate rope lol
You are the MAN!!!! Many, MANY thanks! I was at wit’s end and you saved my day.
Just had to use this trick. Thank you so much for the video I was lost on how I was gona get my filter off.
Thank you sir! U saved me
Thanks bud this worked very well
This worked perfectly. Thank you
I was almost about to quit and call a friend to borrow his car to get to work tomorrow but thx u relly saved me!
Like a charm! Thanks, brother!
It works, any one says it doesn’t work your doing something wrong
Depends on the location of the oil filter in the vehicle.
Thank you so much this was a life saver in a Prius that’s has little clearance
NASA, hire this guy!!!

Wth he talking about lmao
You got me out of a jam. Thanks man.
Just what I needed! Thanks man! 🤙🏽
I wish the world didn't overtighten oil filters and drain plugs
Morons doing oil changes. Totally unnecessary. Oil filter is good with firm hand tightening.
Thank you so much, this is the exact video I needed
It usually is hand tight and requires no tools.
💯. The stupidity is astounding. No need for any tools with oil filters.
That’s how it’s supposed to be done. But, when you have dumbass kids doing oil changes at dealerships and quick lubes, this is when you get the over tightened ones. Morons.
That’s pretty smart dude! Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot

Thank you!!!🙏
Brilliant bud. Thank you.
🔥💯👌🏾
Thank you!!! Life saver
If this doesn't work you can also just smash a screwdriver right into the filter and use handle as leverage.
Damnit Boi it worked
Worked like a charm
That was smart as shit
awesome. got me out of the poo
Saved my life 😂thanks
This worked like a dream
Oh fuck yeah! This is bossy as hell 🙏🏻💯
sadly mine has a 45 degree angle so i couldnt figure it out even with this method
Thank you so much your a life saver
Love it. Saved me today!!
Does anyone else have ideas of or tried to glue a nut on top for easier removal?
And is it better to add some oil into filter before installation, or simply letting the pump do it's thing at pre-start enough?
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
I tried but had a shitty rope so I just channeled all my anger into turning it and got it off😂
thank you
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for an oil filter to be so tight that you need any tool to remove it. People are dumb.
Thank you so much you just got me out of a jam
Don't start a oil change job until you have the right tools and parts. Have some respect for your car at least
Thank you bossman!
Not all heroes wear capes
Show me how to really apply...
nice 👍 idea bro big thanks ❤
If you own wrenches, you should probably own a tool for the oil filter.
It really works!
Thank you so much
And that's how you do the hanky panky
Any body else got a ram 2500, 6.4 hemi?
Life saver 👌🏽
Красавчик!!!! 🎉
Super man thanks alot,
Thanks my friend
How to put back
Thank you
Not any rope, mule tape
All this did was crush my oil filter
👏👏👏
lol they make a tool just like it lol harbor freight special
That's no rope
Not working for me
Correct🎉
Just buy the tool for it don’t get hurt
Pretty coo trick
