Don't do that, because if that filter doesn't come out, you're screwed.

that only works unless your oil filtering question is parallel to the car. the better tip is pop the oil filter off first because if you drain the oil plug first it can create a vacuum on the filter and make it very hard to get it off😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

changed all the other day and yep made a big spot in the driveway soon as I pull the plug I should have had the catch bucket 3 in further back then while trying to catch that spill the pressure let off and it leaked out the other side of the bucket but no issues with the oil filter except for oil all over my hands😅

why you going to clean the oil filter and poke a hole in it you're going to throw it away anyways if you plan on reusing it
