You would be surprised at the different types of filter wrenches available. Get the one with a vice grip type. That will yank it out.

 

hmm, ok i will go check at sears what kind of wrenches they have.. this is sooooo frustrating..

 

are you sure that you are turning it the correct way?

 

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!!

 

YESS!!!! after buying 3 oil filter wrenches and spending 30 dollars and two days. i finally got this thing off!!! haha!!! the damn thing didnt even look like a oil filter.. lol with holes everywhere and the thing is destroyed!!! lol... i feel so damn great! thanks to you guys!!! no more stress!!! i used the one with the socket that has 3 legs from sears... IT WORKED!!!!!

thanks everyone for your help!!

and yes, last time the oil was changed, it was by a shop. lesson learned. NEVER going to have them do oil change.

 

What.....NO PICTURE.....all of the suspense and we don't even get to see the mangled filter............jj.....I am glad you finally got it off....

 

Do it yourself, only hand tighten, and don't forget to put oil on the rubber gasket! This way it will never happen again!

 

The 3 legged filter wrench, I have the same thing plus 3 other types...great job. Nothing beats using the right tool.

 

haha, yea i know.. i dont have a camera at the moment. i let my girl borrow it. but i am so happy right now. and yes i didnt tighten it like those morons did. i learned my lesson. thanks again.

 

Was the rubber stuck to the rim? Hence we wanted to see pics.

 

Yes, I always do it that way.

 

OP, it sounds like you have a leverage problem getting the oil filter off. You may have to take the tire off.

 

I used one of those walmart supertech filters before and yes it stuck like crazy glue. Never used one again

 

no it was not stuck on the metal piece.. i really have no idea why it was so hard to get it off.. the guy have tightened it way too hard! but it is off now, i can sleep in peace.. lol
