China is ahead of the world because of this?!?!???? Damnnn that’s very odd…… you’re telling me no mechanic in America has figured this out at all and this is why China is ahead of the rest of world all over being nifty and clever with an oil change ?!??!! Dude seriously read some books because you’re fooling yourself
Sounds to me like China owns this site
I'm new here 🥺
Hello 😁 I'm new here just tired of 😅 fake men's have been broken so many times 💔my last lover stole from me the money I inherited from my late Dad property
Not related, just single me, home bored 😴
Hello guys Follow up for fun 🔥🥰
Single and ready to mingle 🥰🥰
😍
WHY WOULD ONE CHANGE ENGINE OIL FILTER WITHOUT FIRST DRAINING OLD ENGINE OIL.. REALLY ..
Every oil filter is not mounted Vertically. Now show ME more than "One" way...🤷🏾
where is the oil after removing filter
Clean
😳
I regularly change oil filters on multiple different vehicle manufacturers into a drain pan and don't spill a drop..soooo. Try again...🤷🏾♂️
Look closer there’s oil on his hands a better way can be achieved better than this even
China is ahead of the rest of the world, like downtown Los Angeles is a resort community.
WOW! I will try this next time!
Congratulations 👏👏👏
only if filter is located in same way.
Do ya know what Asian college kids are doing while the American college kids are getting high and drunk on spring break???? STUDYING!!!!!!
nobody really cares about China
I like to visit China
American mechanics are smart because they know that there is more than 4 5 quarts of oil inside a car so tell me something how are you going to collect all that oil in one quart of cup? advertising on a product without telling the consumer the truth is what they call false advertising
Won’t work
hand was not clean. a little bit seemed to go over the side.
omg a cup , this why China is ahead of there time....seriously stupid ass video 😳
there are these things called an oil filter wrench, gloves, and a catch pan, which are for this exact job. just buy the right tools for the right job. the right job for a plastic cup is to drink out of, and I think you get the idea for the rest.
like that filter is that easy to remove. Bull
Wrong! USA. is number One.
also part of the bigger problem way too much plastic on our planet
common sense
Sure! Were all moving to China! Let me pack my bags!
good idea
well that was a good idea, but that does not mean they're ahead of the rest of the world.
that is a good idea !
I sure that cup doesn’t hold 5 quarts of oil
China is not ahead of the rest of the world
And yet can’t drive
🤔 never seen that much room to remove a filter with out taking half the car apart
yeah except every Japanese oil filter is sideways
China ahead of the rest of the world. I think this proves just the opposite. Like countries returning jets that don't work and fail. like much of the military equipment they make. Be real
thats fine as long as only 12 ounces comes out.
No way in hell would that work. Not many vehicles have that much room to fit a full-size cup
You don’t always have that much room and not all are facing downwards. Try again. This makes China idiots because it only works on one type. I guess if you don’t get or keep that type these are useless.
😆😆😆
👨🏽💻Naw,,that ain’t why they are ahead of the world-(the investments of racism created a bunch of smart dumbasses😳
I usually drain the oil reservoir before I remove the filter.
sounds to me like everyone here to spew hate whether America is better or China is better is ignorant... how about we just treat the next person or country with the same respect that you yourself expect
thats cute but im not scared of oil
then just add cream and sugar and give it to your boss.
China is not ahead of shit. 😂😂😂 just got back from there. wow.
Been using a Hardee's cup for years to do that....
holy sheep chit Cletis!!!!!!!,that was amazing
what if the frame is in the way or te filter isn't vertical?
Lmao hands dirty as hell 😆
it's because the majority of people in China aren't alcoholics and prescription drug addicts like the majority of Americans are.
BS AI
Yeah and there cars barley enough room for filter now they think a 64 oz cups going to fit
they don't want to get their hands durty??
Funny! I've never seen a oil filter that accessible!!😆😆😆😆😆
literally shows the guys hands soaked
It would be nice if oil filters were a uniform size, but I suppose your service bay has an infinite stock of different size McDonald’s soft drink cups
may be just drain the oil first did they not figure that out
oooohhhhh they're soooo smart ...lol
lol...yea cause all filters are located so easily
