....but this oil filter has my beat. i tried my hands first. no luck. then a pair of channel lock pliers, just slipped around.
i got a bit mad and used the screw driver method. it will go clock wise a tiny bit but not counter clock wise which should unscrew.
then i laid on my back, trying to will it to unscrew for 10mins.

as always when u have problems of any kind at 1am, next a trip to walmart.

got a oil filter cap wrench. dumb thing just slips around the end.

ok ideas? im suppose to go on a lil trip thats 2hrs away tomorrow

same thing happened to me
my threads were messed up though

[starchland]

why not counter clockwise? get a longer screw driver or a stronger arm

I usualy tell people to do oil changes theirselves, but maybe it is best for some to take it somewhere to get it done. I don't know how the threads could be messed up, but even if they are, more force should be all you need to get it loose. Make sure you're turning it the right way.
