Dannymik Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 :shock: Did I read on this forum that fram oil filters are shitty? Damn it, because thats all I ever used on my Cutty! I use the sure grip. So what other filter is easy to take off with your hand(Ihave no wrench)? And why are there filters so bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superwombat Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I stab a flathead screwdriver thru the filter and use the screwdriver as a handle to spin it off. A bit messier, but hey... violence is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5speedz34 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I found a Lesabre website that shows a fram filter after it's been used here u should really check it out! http://www.lesabret.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the updates and articles, and when it says how to change oil, its says more info here.

Mike J. Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I tried that driving a screwdriver thru the filter and twisting. The thin shells on some filters just peels like a sardine lid and then I thought I would never get it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patgizz Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 advance auto has a new line of filters, we(me and my buddy at the store) are trying to find out who they are made by. they cost the same as the purolators do and have the grip stuff covering the entire filter.
