Oil Filter stuck......help!

[MisterCMK]

It has been proven time and time again that the Motorcraft filters are some of the best ones out there.

As far as wrenches, I've never needed a wrench to get an oil filter off (aside from the first change of course). When I install an oil filter it only goes snug/hand tight.

What the hell do you use to take them off - your hand?? If you do that I am going to call you sir from here on out.

On a serios note, oil filters are only meant to go on hand tight , but I can get them tight enough with one hand that they require an oil filter wrench after a few heat cycles.

I always put mine on hand tight...(no need to tighten more than that). With that said....I have had some get tight on me and needed a wrench cap to get them off.....(on some of my motorcycles......and my F-250 diesel truck). But I still like to have a proper wrench cap....for those days.

Yeah, I just use my hand. The only filters I haven't been able to get off with my hands are the ones that come on the trucks from the factory
