[@jrayez4995]

Never seen this before so thank you for sharing. My problem is I've never seen an oil filter that accessible!

[@CFarmer]

Yea, seems like there's always something in the way

[@MacheteBushcraftAustralia]

Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. A lot of machinery and bigger trucks have easy access filters. Some passenger vehicles will also have enough clearance for this method. I think the newer the car, the tighter the engine bay though. This tip worked a charm for me.

[@yeiciboutaction]

On my 2013 Chevy Malibu it has a metals cover covering half the surface of the filter almost like a shield the manufacturers do this so you have to pay for someone to do it for you but there’s always a way to do something yourself sometimes it’ll be a little harder but it’s worth it

[@CFarmer]

I agree, I've never looked at the one on a Malibu but there's usually a way. May have to take the shield off. I have to take the skid plate off to grease my truck.

[@1capatter]

Yea, my daughter's RAV4 gives me no room (that's after taking off the shield). It's always a pain when I change her oil. Every car is different. I did my neighbor's Hyundai Santa Fe for her, and the oil filter was under the hood.

[@wyaldkingdom]

I didn’t have enough room to get my breaker bar in there so I wrapped the excess strap around the S hook and was able to pull on the strap with both hands. Like climbing a rope. IT CAME LOOSE IMMEDIATELY! Thank you for the video. Got me out of a jam on my Mazda cx90.

[@MacheteBushcraftAustralia]

Mate..... I owe you a beer! This tip got me out of a bind. I just tried this on a tractor hydraulic filter that was well and truly fused. For extra grip, I ended up stretching a small section of a motorcycle inner tube between the strap. I almost had to stand on a small pry bar to get it to turn but it worked!

[@CFarmer]

That's awesome, glad it worked for ya!

[@joshb4334]

You saved my butt today. Tried this on my Toyota SUV where there isn't enough room for large channel locks. I keep forgetting to pick up an oil filter wrench at the store so decided to give this a try. I used a strap like yours but room is tight so I used a wrench for the handle and it worked like a charm. It was a bit tricky getting it on with one hand but once I got it in place I was able to just pull up on the wrench and get more torque on it rather than trying to twist it with my wrist. Thanks for the idea! I won't forget this one.

[@CFarmer]

Awesome, I'm glad it helped

[@marcomedina2976]

I write this comment 15 min before midnight, having to work tomorrow...you my friend are a life saver

[@CFarmer]

Thank you! Glad it helped

[@tracyjamison906]

This definitely helped me after I was stuck trying to get the filter off for 15 minutes. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it turn. THANK YOU SIR!

[@CFarmer]

I'm so glad it helped, thank you for the comment!

[@FR3EBYRDPLAYS]

Thank you sir! I purchase oil filter pliers, two of the fancy wrenches that grab the filter and squeeze. I also broke a corded drill, nearly burnt up my impact drill and broke one of the new wrenches in the process. But this trick you showed us work like a charm! I will never forget this trick and when my son grows up and over tightens the oil filter on his car like his dad did when he was young ill be happy to show him this trick. Thank you

[@CFarmer]

Good deal, I'm glad it helped

[@ResurrectionRC]

Dude, hands down this has just saved me! What a great cheat!

[@CFarmer]

I'm glad it helped, it's saved me a few times

[@drummerjake7138]

Used this trick today. Had the dealer do my last oil change and they went ham when tightening it up. Thank you!

[@CFarmer]

Glad it helped out

[@michaelrogers5625]

This tip was super helpful. I had to replace an oil filter on a used 09 yamaha motorcycle. The clearance around this filter was impossible to get to. This trick was the only way I was finally able to start to spin it loose.

[@marcushart4883]

After trying everything I could think of I found this video and it worked perfectly. Thank you sir

[@papa-delta-kilo]

Saved my day! Love from Norway

[@joelsmith4709]

Thanks for sharing this. My wife took our van to have the previous oil change done. I went under to do one today and the shop had put on a smaller filter than they should have. Your trick got me out of a bind!

[@CFarmer]

So glad it helped

[@TheJumpRopeAddict]

Filter on my mower was super tight and I’ve never needed a filter wrench so I’ve never bought one. First video that came up so I watched and gave it a try and had the filter off in less than a minute, thanks

[@CFarmer]

Good deal, thank you for your comment!

[@hotracingchildable]

Dude works like a charm. Have a 6.7 diesel I just got, first oil change and I didn't have the right wrench out of the many I have. THANK YOU!

[@CFarmer]

Yes sir, glad it helped

[@yafetabedo2873]

Thank you very much my friend, I spent a lot of money on oil filter removal tool for my volvo VNL with no luck. Your video was the only trick that worked.

[@CFarmer]

Thank you for the comment, I'm glad it helped

[@Linzkys]

Worked effortless, even with filter in very tight spot! Great when you don't have "an old belt". Always have straps in the car 😇!

[@HeavyChevyGuy]

I did this on Christmas morning with 2 wrenches and a dog leash. Thanks for the tip

[@fourbyfourer]

Great little tip!! It would be very useful in a bind!!

[@cma8165]

Pretty neat little idea that proves to work! Now why didn't I think of that before! Thanks for sharing your idea with other DIY'ers.

[@moisesjasso2138]

I was trying to loosen up my filter for the past 30 min. This video saved my life. Very nice and smart. This string costs you 1.49 at any dollar store. Thank Thank. Happy new year

[@CFarmer]

Happy New Year! Glad the video helped 😀

[@SteveAudra]

Thank you so much. Mine was NOT budging. You were an answer to prayer. This tip saved my day!

[@CFarmer]

I'm glad it worked for you, thank you for you're comment

[@KalvinistKyle]

I just had to inform you, i tried your tip with my belt and a wrench...totally works. What i noticed was leather grips, and wrench leveraged against the belt itself helps tighten it as you push. Thanks a lot!

[@CFarmer]

That's good to know. Glad it worked

[@markwarnberg9504]

Thanks for the TIP!! came across this problem last week, oil filter wrench was too small, lucked out.....I managed to get the filter loose with both hands - a mighty grunt and a sigh of relie.

[@CFarmer]

Good deal, thank you for the comment

[@SimulationGaming6080]

You knwo what i cant thanks you in any words You saved me. I really want to share my story I was just changin oil and i got pajero mitsubishi it got filter which was not accessible easily i tried screw driver method but failed badly i got a go for work tomorrow morning and dont have choice then your video comes up and it really helped me it worked miraculously Really thanks again 🙏🙏🙏

[@CFarmer]

Thank you! so glad the video helped

[@BikFilms99]

Ended up using a similar method with a stretch rag. Was able to wrap it around twice and pull tight. Was the only thing thatd fit in the tight area where the filter was. Thanks for the tips!! Got my brain moving

[@CFarmer]

As long as you got it, that's the important part. Thank you for your comment!

[@spillitnow]

I used this technique to get the oil filter off my Honda CR-V using a dog collar and the back of an adjustable wrench. Took some wrangling, but I got it eventually. Thanks for the tip.

[@jaredyoung3288]

Thanks for sharing this I was having such a hard time getting my oil filter off and thanks to this video I was able to get it off. I definitely will be subscribing haha

[@CFarmer]

Thank you, thank you for your comment and I'm glad it helped

[@badgeneration2007]

Thank you for showing us this. It works. Saved me money and yet another trip to the store

[@CFarmer]

Glad the video helped and thank you for the comment

[@OpiateEffect]

This was the only trick that worked - thanks for sharing

[@travisdains4836]

Very helpful! Thanks for sharing this

[@brendon4901]

Wow, never seen this, just did it on a Mercury outboard and it worked, thank you!

[@ryanmurphy3025]

You saved the day compradre, my go to method from now on.

[@CFarmer]

Glad i could help!

[@roelvelasquez9001]

Worked like a charm....thank you very much brother

[@mikef6706]

That is so cool. The last time I change my oil my rubber strap wrench would not loosen the filter. I got a mothers helper jar opener, I finally got it off. But I like your idea better. Thank You for the GREAT tip 👍

[@CFarmer]

Thank you Mike

[@jrobertsz71]

Just helped me out. Changing the hydraulic filter and engine oil filter on my garden tractor. Spring tune up time. Thanks!

[@CFarmer]

Hey, glad it helped. Thank you for the comment!

[@zachscruggs2578]

Huge help! Took a few tries but it worked!!

[@CFarmer]

Glad it helped!

[@gala83filmstaylorg7]

This vid just helped me..used this method on my 2013 gmc Sierra.. Thank you!

[@brianholmes1024]

Wow! That's pretty clever! Just when I thought I'd seen it all, you came along and showed me a better way. Thanks for sharing!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you for your comment. Hope this works good for you

[@Paddle-N-Fish]

Thanks for the tip! I just did my first filter change on my used car, and the oil filter wrench did not fit. I did like you did and it worked great!

[@missincredible6087]

Very cool! These are very easy tools to find lying around. You learn something new everyday

[@CFarmer]

Yep, I saw a guy about a week ago do same thing with his belt.

[@ElliotP27]

@@CFarmer I last used a belt to change the oil in my '64 Fairlane when I was in college in '68. That was all I could afford and it was a good excuse not to study! LOL.

[@CFarmer]

That's awesome, I'll have to try a belt next time. Seems that might work better

[@smifff63]

Thank you, I couldn’t find my filter wrench and this did the job, many thanks.

[@CFarmer]

Glad it helped!

[@jamilethgarcia5836]

Thank you! 😅 I learned an amazing trick tonight, thank you

[@guillermorosas278]

Thanks man I was Struggling to get it out 🙏

[@CFarmer]

Anytime, glad it helped

[@scarling9367]

Cool. Essential a half hitch around the filter.

[@Seanjonb]

Nice! Excellent use of mechanics

[@CFarmer]

Thank you

[@craigwillowood5605]

It works. You are a Godsend.

[@CFarmer]

I'm glad it helped

[@aaronwinter447]

Thanks! Had hard to reach spot on motorcycle and this worked great.

[@CFarmer]

Awesome!

[@fredchevry5786]

It worked perfectly. Thank you man

[@CFarmer]

Glad it worked for you

[@orests3482]

Worked great, improvised by tying the other end around the frame and ratcheting the oil filter just enough to be able to get it off by hand. Also crushed it real good.

[@CFarmer]

Good deal!

[@TheBoulKash]

This is great. Thank you. My issue is that my filter, although under the car, is of course shrouded and not as accessible. I’ll try with either my old belt or and old serp belt

[@rickj6048]

Much better than the old school method of hammering a screwdriver through it and hoping it loosens before you rip it open.

[@CFarmer]

Works good if there is enough room

[@jeremydyer9731]

Thank you so much for this!!! It helped me out good sir!

[@cassidyluna7391]

That’s frikkin awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@CFarmer]

Thank you!

[@GunFort]

works like a charm. tnx

[@willsprocess]

Yeah man great tip 👍

[@heathweeks1985]

My favorite filter wrench is an old leather belt. Loop it around the filter in such a way that the harder you pull the tighter it squeezes. I can crush oil filters from exerting so much force using this method.

[@CFarmer]

That's a great method to

[@mrutkowski07]

Worked for me, thanks!

[@javiercoronel1169]

Thanks alot, had to change the oil with out removing it a while back now was going to take it to the shop, but had seen your vid and tried it and boon first try couldn't believe it moved I thought it was the strap. But no the filter loosened up.😂😂😂😂

[@eldenmarshall7446]

Thankyou so much for the solution 🙏🙏🙏

[@jenniferhertzler720]
