[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 92021, member: 436"] When using big pliers to loosen an oil filter, you get a better grip if you grab the filter as close to the base as possible. The further out towards the end you grab it the easier it crushes. I normall put mine on as tight as I can by hand and then use big channel locks to remove it. I keep thinking that I want to get one of those oil filter wrenches that look like a shallow socket and fit on the end of the filter, but I haven't remembered to get one while buying a filter. You need to get one specific to the size filter you use so it's best to buy one while you have the new filter in your hand. [/QUOTE]
