Expert Long Rester
@Harzel & [MENTION=6802553]BookBarbarian[/MENTION], Can't you just add some oil to loosen the threads?
*acknowledging that I have now completely left the point of the thread
I don't see how on the vehicles I have owned. The filters were barely accessible with a single hand (no chance at using a filter wrench), and the threads themselves were blocked by the old filter. I would use oil to slick up the threads of the new filter, but they were typically still a bear to get off.
