Help! oil filter is stuck!
#44
All I can say is Damn all this work to get off a filter did you do the oil change before and if so what the heck did you use to tighten it? And usually a oil filter wrench will di=o the trick!! I always usually buy the Fram SureGrip!!
And Good Luck you'll get it sooner or later!!
