Any Pointers or Advice on 'NOT Spilling Oil' on driveway during oil change???
Get a Fumoto valve (http://fumotousa.com/). Problem solved.
I totally agree. I didn’t do a good job of describing the approach. I didn’t mean to suggest punching a hole in the filter but rather in the thin baking pan that is sitting on the ucp. If a quality filter is properly installed, it should never be difficult to loosen. Also, cheap (thin wall) filters should never be installed on anything!Before punching a hole in an oil filter; make sure to loosen it even a tenth of a turn. I have seen oil filter cross threaded to the point that to remove may be more than a backyard mechanic wants to handle in the yard. Just a thought.....
